What are your New Years Resolutions?

Mine is kinda hard to understand. Have you ever thought to yourself "man i wish i could go back to a year ago and change what i did." Well at the end of every year thats what I think. My goal for this year is to not think that so that at the end of this year I will be proud of how my year went and not want to go back and change it.

Sorry thats confusing :P

No, that's not confusing at all. I think that's my goal too. I want to study harder and read more.

I'm glad that wasn't confusing and I got my idea for that goal when I was thinking about a huge mistake I made and saying "If only I could go back..." so yeah. Good luck in 2014 :) I would like to have more free time to read more too!

I just want to be a better person.

Can I help you with anything? Do you want to talk? I think we all could be better in some way, this year and it is great to work towards it! Good luck!

I want to:

-meditate more
-not be as hard on myself, to be nicer to myself
-to work really hard to excel at my talents
-do things that make me happy
-be more patient with people
-stop worrying about other people's opinions

Those are all good ones. I don't even know what mine are.

That was a really good way to put that...Thanks Lia! :D

That is a really good way to say that Lia I never thought of it that way! I think as long as we set goals for ourselves thats change enough. Here is a quote that I really love when it comes to this...

"I don't believe in failure, because simply by saying you've failed, you've admitted you attempted. And anyone who attemps is not a failure. Those who truly fail in my eyes are the ones who never try at all, The ones who sit on the couch and whine and moan waiting for the world to change them."

~Sarah Dessen

Yeah it can be really hard I know that more than anyone :P but I am so glad I have such a strong support system here on Goodreads

'And we keep on waiting, waiting on the world to change.'

Those are some lyrics to a song that I know (I don't remember which) and I have decided that I won't wait anymore. I will change the world for the better by doing anything I can. That includes just saying a few kind words to someone who needs them, or going to college and finding out something that will help others. I will change the world, if only because I think I can.


also, my selfish goals for this year are: once it gets warmer, I will bike at least four miles each day, pay more attention in class and not get distracted by my book, get my lower grades back up to A's, and know everyday that my life is wonderful and my own.

Wonderful goals

Same here!

and It's not confusing at all.

Eleven days into the new year and so far so good. What about y'all?

My new year's goal is to get 90% or higher on my exams! I haven't even started studying yet *blushes*...... *then sighs, and goes back to watching Diego with baby brother*

Not horrible, I haven't done as well as I would have hoped but I am not giving up.

I want to get all a's b's and c's
