[PERSONAL] Not a new me, but a better me

Author's Note: Changmin's smile in this photo exactly suits the way I feel the moment I wrote this. That's why I posted it with just his smile. Anyway, this is an essay to be passed in our English subject. 

I find it amazing how someone like me survived 15 years of struggle and uncertainty. I find it so unusual how I dealt with life with just faith and nothing else. Thinking of the life I had countless years ago, I feel like I had been cheated by own self knowing that I never polished the things I should had. However, though regrets are flooding me at the moment, just like anyone else who wishes for change, I too believe that everything is not yet over.

So this year will be different. I will make 2013 the stepping stone of myself. I will graduate from childish resolutions and proceed to grown up aims. I will make this year the start of my stardom, not in the industry or in terms of popularity, but regarding the rise of a better me.

I will become more determined and passionate to the works and dreams that I wish to accomplish and achieve. I will become sturdier and wiser in times of difficulties and frustrations. I will become more innovative as new days unfold and less unproductive though tasks are on hold.

I will be more compliant to vendors and to the people whom I do not know. I will become more reliant to my friends, enemies and even to people who doesn't need me at all. I will become more independent and knowledgeable when making small or big decisions. I will totally erase indecisiveness in myself so that procrastination will just happen once in a while.  

I will become more positive. I will strengthen my guts so that a supply of simultaneous kindness will flow in my heart. I will smile more often and just cry when greatly needed. I will trust my talents and believe in my skills. I will be more focused to the duties entrusted to me. I will apply excellence in everything that I do making sure that I won't become the 'perfectionist' who knows nothing but being flawless.

I will listen deeply at the peak of discussing important matters. I will develop the way I control my anger so that my bitter words won't have to hurt anyone anymore. I will talk less when I know I'm the one who's missing and talk more when I'm the one who's on the right track. I will lower my pride and lift my self esteem. I will practice a better showcase of Christianity so that I can see the beauty of humility and respect to humanity. And above all, I will have a firmer faith than before.

My life is a hair and I'm the barber. Gotta make this year productive, happy and stylish.
