It's a new year and school is starting again. Last year, things and situations occurred unexpectedly. Some turned out better, while others took a bad turn. Obviously, of human nature I tend to be happy for good outcomes while I remain devastated over bad outcomes and responded negatively. I blamed everything and even myself. Why couldn't I achieve better..why couldn't I have done this and that?

It is not until I read one of my friend's blog that I realised that I should be thankful and grateful for what god has presented me with. Even in Buddhism, sufferings is due to attachment and attachment (desire, lust and greed) can be overcome. Constantly, I desire to be one of the elites..not even seeing where I am or even putting more effort. or patience. When things turn bad, I didn't even bother to reflect but crave for more. Even till now, it is difficult to think positively so I guess it takes time to cultivate a good mind.

So, here's my new resolutions/goals:

Better health
Family, friends and loved ones
Studies
Work + Money
Fit body by exercising and having a healthy diet
