Happy new year - unusual 2020 wishes

More than a week into the new year, I started realizing that we may not have made the best possible wishes for 2020. Why? Not because we have not wished each other great things, but because they were just not really thought through. What we really need are not simply those “happiness, luck, success”.

So I’d like to mention a rather neglected but very important thing that we need - decisiveness. Truth is that no one wakes up on January 1st happier, smarker, prettier, wiser or with a better life. So no matter how well we have planned our new year resolutions, written them in our planners or told about them to all of our friends - they don’t really mean a thing unless we get down to work and make them come true.

Soemhing great is the fact that we can literally any minute do something small that would accumulate to further success and getting closer to making those plans and dreams come true. :) Sometimes an email, a simple conversation or a phone call could be the first step and could both help us and motivate us so that we believe more in our success. . :)

It’s important to be decisive because no moment is ever perfect, the muse doesn’t come when we need it to and it’s all about getting to work in the very moment of NOW!

And since it’s very trendy to say how next year we’ll all be different, we’ll do things differently or we’ll start anew - I did the exact oposite and spend the first few days of the new year finishing tasks and projects I have started in the previous one. Because proving we are serious about getting things done is more important ad better than jus hittign the button of a rather fake Restart. And this was a great decision because this way I proved that I am decisive and really finish all I set my heart to. :)

And speaking of unusual, form all the wishes for the new year that I recently got, the most meaningful ones were actually the unusual because they were all about cherishing the small things in life, to keep on being artsy, to stay focused and ambitious ad to believe in myself and my dreams.

So I also have some unusual wishes for you for the beginning of the new year. Of course I also want to wish you health, happines, luck etc. but that sounds kind of generic while I would like to make it more personalized:

be decisive

don't postpone today's work on tomorrow

dont postpone making your dreams come true, don’t wait for tomorrow, or summer or any other time but now

dont forget where you wanna go and you have a 100% bigger chance to actually do so

start a new book - today

smile more

enjoy the sunset (and if you manage to get up early enough - the sunrise as well)

show the people around you how much they mean to you

finish what you’ve started

challenge yourself to try what you are afraid to to

believe that nothing is impossible
