Reflection Over Resolutions: A Question for the New Year

Hello everyone,


Welcome back to my blogs.


Happy and a glorious New Year.


It brings me great joy to write this blog today. It will be a very simple one, but I promise these words will definitely help you. Thank you for showing up again. Keep supporting, keep reading.


I was thinking about what I could do this year. Somewhere, I felt that I must work on my weaknesses. I listed down most of them, and then I really lost all motivation to work on even one of them, as the list was big.


The next day, I was listening to a sermon. There, the speaker said, “This new year, ask yourself why you do what you do.”


This sentence deeply moved me because most of my weaknesses existed because I didn’t question my actions most of the time. I said yes too often. I did things that were unnecessary just to get a little joy, only to regret them later like no other. I need not give much explanation, I hope you can relate to what I’ve experienced.



Therefore, asking myself this question—why I do what I do—felt really important. It helps me remain alive and honest in life. If we simply start doing what others do or just go with the flow, we begin to forget the purpose behind our actions. Eventually, life becomes boring, without passion in anything we do.


My honest advice for this year would definitely be this: think before you do what you do. At the end of the day, the voice you hear will be your spirit, either warning you or appreciating you based on your actions.


Secondly, you already know many resolutions: physical and mental health, habits, etc. But keep this in mind: take care of your soul. There is no end to it. The body and mind will one day fade, but the soul remains eternal. Resist anything that harms the peace and holiness of your soul.


Stay grounded. As I always write, don’t follow the world blindly. Don’t get into unwanted habits just because your friend does. Try to remain grounded in what you believe and in doing good and right things, in helping and encouraging others.


Your best days are ahead. Work harder. Never stop till it’s done.

Have a great 2026. Keep growing. Thank you
