Usually I’m not one to make new year’s resolution. But this year, I have decided I’ll have to make one and try my best to keep my sanity… or insanity at its current level. The only resolution I have is to keep a positive attitude — think positive, act positive, look at the positive side of everything and everyone and every situation. It really doesn’t sound like much, but for me, this is one of the most difficult thing to do.

Last year was a year wrought with problems, doubts and worries in every aspect of my life, engulfed with the most pressing dread of losing my grip on my financial situation, however slight that might be, and finally losing my house in the near future. And I recognized the pernicious effect of such constant dread on my daily life, but I kept thinking about the problems and as I thought about them, being pessimistic, I imagined a number of scenarios of future troubles stemming from them and dug myself deeper into the quagmire of misery. And now I’m depressed as never before and I have to do something about it before I self-destruct.

The only thing I can do, after thinking so much about the problems I have, is well… nothing. There is nothing I can do about them at present. I’ll have to try to live with them and accept that there is nothing I can do (excepting occasional lottery ticket purchase to try my luck of course )

Anyway, so this year, I resolve to be positive in every aspect of my daily life. Even when I’m making this resolution, the doubt creeps in that I’ll never be able to shed pessimism and I won’t even remember this resolution of mine. But hey I’m going to give it a go and hope you guys will remind me from time to time.

What are your resolutions? Whatever they are I wish you success!

Happy New Year!
