2016 was such a crazy year. Like many others,I am excited and timid about the new year of 2017. But with the new year, many make "resolutions" that they don't stick to.

I try to live my life in the most positive manner and work hard towards anything I set my mind to. With that said, 2017 will be no different to me. I do believe it will be a year where I must work harder and fight stronger for what I believe in. I don't think making yourself promise to something is worth it, because at the end of it you'll be disappointed in yourself.

It's not worth being upset with yourself because you've already quit your diet after 2 weeks. When I want to work out, I'll work out, and when I'm too busy, I'll let myself relax. I don't think resolutions are worth the hassle. That's why I'll continue to live my life as I go, and I'll change the things that should be, like studying more or focusing more.

I believe that as humans we can always improve. Whether it be in our religion, relationships, or at work. There is always something that we can change to better ourselves into the best people possible. That's what I strive for every day. Not next year or for just a week, but forever.

Of course there are always new things to learn. Like how to change a tire, or how to get better grades. And those are the things we should focus on. We should better ourselves and make ourselves happy with who we are. So if you need that diet, go for it, but honestly don't promise yourself outrageous tasks, take every day one at a time. A better you takes baby steps.
