"New year, new life," is what I grew up hearing people say anytime we enter another year.
Actually, every new year is another opportunity given to each and everyone of us to become better versions of ourselves. It doesn't matter whether you failed the previous years or not, the reason why the first day of the year always reads 1/1 is to create the awareness that it's another beginning so we can take advantage of the fresh page before us to write a better story there.
Most people see a new year as ordinary and casual because nothing is new about it. Same sun that shines on other days shines that day, night falls like it does on that day like any other day. It's the same time in the clock, the same breeze that blows and the same sky. Everything is just the same and they ain't wrong.
However, The reason why they see it that way it's because they are not aware that nature will always remain the way it is. The new page is for us not for nature.
What makes a year new is you, the decisions you make are what make it count. If every man decides to become good in the world today, the world will change, including nature.
It's so unfortunate that even when others are entering into a new year, others are out there stocked in the old ones doing the same thing over and over. New year is a personal thing and the decisions we make are what makes it valid.
Like everyone else, every new year, we reflect on our lives and try to make critical decisions that will make life meaningful in the subsequent months.
I have made such decisions before and before I reached the second month of the year, I realized that I already broke those decisions.
Honestly, if only we can be disciplined enough to stick to our resolutions we would become successful in life but the discipline is not easy, nevertheless we will never stop trying.
For this year, I am resolving to become an intentional individual. Last year, I couldn't achieve so much even though I ventured into a lot of things . When I was reflecting on my life recently I discovered that my problem isn't starting a thing.
It's in not taking it seriously and doing it like a do or die affair. It's one thing to sign in for something, it's another to be deliberate in ensuring that it becomes a success.
So, this year, I am going to work on that. I won't be like I was in the previous year when I was doing many things at a time, I'll pick one thing and do it like my life depends on it. Whatever I sign in for, even if it's not favourable I'll hold onto it passionately until I attained mastery.
In conclusion, it's one thing to plan, it's another to stick to it. If you can do both, then success will locate you. I wish you a great year. May we achieve our heart desires. Happy New Year.
Thanks For Reading

Thank you for this inspiring reflection on the New Year. I resonate deeply with the idea that “the new page is for us, not for nature.” The concept of intentionality really stood out to me — it’s not about making grand resolutions, but about choosing to be deliberate with our actions, even if it’s just one small commitment at a time.
Discipline, as you mentioned, is key. But I also believe that self-compassion plays a big role in sustaining those commitments. When we approach our goals with patience and kindness toward ourselves, we’re more likely to keep going, even when things don’t go as planned.
Your focus on mastery and doing something passionately until it’s fully achieved is such a powerful mindset shift. It reminds me that growth is a journey, not a sprint, and that what matters most is showing up with intention every day.
Wishing you a fulfilling year of purpose and intentional living. Here’s to all of us making choices that truly matter in the long run. Happy New Year!
Wow!! I enjoyed this feedback so much. It's more juicy than the post itself.
Actually, a lot of things need to come together inorder for our dreams to come into reality and one of them is self compassion. Everything materializes with time, anyone who is not patient enough to wait, taking it one step at a time may end up giving up.
Thanks so much for the encouragement. I wish you the best in 2025. Happy new year 🥰🥰🥰🫂
Thank you for the kind words and a happy New Year to you too ❤️
The pleasure is mine. Thanks so much🥰💖
I can see that you already have a theme for yourself this year. It's a good start. I hope that you attain the level of intentionality that you strive to.
Have a pleasant year, my guy!
Amen o my asa. We pray for a productive 2025
This is powerful sir,so much inspiration from your write ups," it's one thing to plan and another thing to stick to the plan"... thank you.......am new in Hive I deserve a warm welcome too lolz.....am new in Hive,I think I deserve a warm welcome lolz
welcome my dear brother. I am glad I was able to inspire you. I believe that if we are intentional, we will be better this year.
Feel free to reach out to me anytime you are faced with any challenge in the Blockchain.
Your Resolution is powerful especially when it's backed up with intentionality as you clearly said.
Most people make so many Resolutions without any concrete deliberate attempt in ensuring the actualization of such commitment.
My singular prayer is for God to grant you grace to achieve your goals for the year.
Happy New Year bro
You are correct, a lot of people make many resolutions without being ready for what it takes to bring them to pass. It's why we have many goals unachieved.
Amen to that prayer sir. I pray same for you. Thanks so much for stopping by sir..
Happy new year 🥰
Welcome sir
Your reflection on the true meaning of a new year is spot on. It's not about the external circumstances changing, but about our internal decisions and actions that shape our lives. I love your take to become a more intentional individual, focusing on one thing at a time and seeing it through to mastery. That's a powerful strategy for success. Your honesty about the challenges of sticking to resolutions is also refreshing. It's a reminder that we all struggle, but it's the persistence and discipline that ultimately lead to growth. Wishing you a fantastic year ahead, and may your intentions become a reality
Happy New Year Daddy @emreal 🫣
My boss, you got it right sir.. it's not just about stating out our dreams and ambitions, that's one aspect, without discipline and persistence, those things might never come to life.
Thanks for stopping by broh.. happy new year 🥰
Truly it's not about the abundance of things we can do and mostly we fail to do them but the little we can consistently and passionately achieve. It's good to discover the flaws and make corrections. I hope we do better this year.
Happy New Year sir!
He who chases a lot of things at a time always ends up catching none. We will have a better 2025 if we are consistent just like you said.
Happy new year daddy.. I love your spirit on the blockchain. Keep the fire burning sir
Indeed! Absolutely true.
Thank you papa. I'm inspired by you.
