How to SLAY 2017.

2017. Its a new year. Everyone's making new rules, new plans, and new years resolutions. Yet, we begin to forget the time in between the years. The months, the weeks and days where we are constantly living.

As human beings we are constantly reinventing ourselves and progressing. What we have to keep in mind is, time is just an illusion. If we perceive our life to just change as every year comes by then we are excluding ourselves from changing, we are wasting time, we are allowing ourselves not to reach the goals we want to.

It is a dangerous cycle to live your life in this hope that with every year that passes by we can just reinvent ourselves. We could become a new person, change our hair or change the way we do things. Why do we live in a world where we think we can only reach our set term goals as each year comes around. Because in reality, we can change at any given moment we choose, before the year is up, after a new year has begun or in between. I believe we should be constantly pushing ourselves to be the best we can be, to keep continuously reaching goals, and never limiting ourselves of anything.

If you want something bad enough you will go out there and get it. Whatever you want to change about yourself, your life, whatever or however it is, time isn't going to wait. You have to change in the right now, not next week, not next year, and not next month. Start taking small steps towards your goals now. It is the difference between your prioritizes and what you choose to perceive is more important. E.g. More followers on Instagram than seeing your family more. You have to decide whats realistic and what is going to make you happier. Take in order all the things which are important to you whether or not they are important to anyone else, but make sure to put on the top of the list the once which will benefit you the most, which make you the happiest, and prioritize those superficial things lower on the list. (E.g. going on social media, getting likes should be lower on the list than getting good grades)

We need to stop thinking in a mindset of "What am I going to achieve within a space of time" but we should be looking at what struggle, what leap, what jump we are willing to push ourselves through in order to reach our goals. Stop searching for the final destination in the journey and learn to become more involved with getting closer to the goal. Happiness is formed when we work towards things we enjoy or that we want. Happiness doesn't just come as soon as you've reached a goal it comes through devotion and hard work.
