Nothing Really Changes Come The Dawn Of The New Year

31st December typically marks the last day of every single year. Traditions would have us believe that on this day, we should come together to celebrate the start of a brand new year. However, the truth is that this day, on 31st December 2015, much like any other day before, has simply transitioned from Thursday to Friday without too much of an impact made to our lives. What is the significance of celebrating on this day then?

The countdown of this new day usually prompts us to put aside our day-to-day work and toast our glasses to celebrate. This ubiquitous ritual observed by mankind all around the world must contain some profound relationship on how we behave. Even going back to the early days of Homo sapiens, celebrations such as the triumphant encounter with the wildly beasts have brought together communities, bestowing upon us a sense of fulfilment.

As for New Year's Day, it is about celebrating the completion of another milestone in our lives and set forth on another year's worth of new year resolutions. Whether or not our last year's resolutions have been achieved or not, most of us, if not all, are certainly relieved that we made it out of 2015 alive and kicking.
While many of the new year resolutions we set for ourselves may never see the light at the end of the tunnel, we should all still celebrate everyday, not just on New Year's day, with a sense of gratitude. Let us all celebrate the fact that at each given day we have one more amazing day on this Earth to enjoy the company of the friends and family as well as all the beautiful objects around us.

How You See Yourself Ultimately Decides The Kind of Life You Will Live

Image
Until the moment when we finally find our souls, we are always being influenced by the environment we are in from a very young age. Our thoughts and beliefs are pretty much entirely shaped by our family and society.  However, what the world often says and what the world later does are often against each other. One day, when we feel that we are completely abandoned by the world, we will slowly come to a realisation and enlightenment. That is when our inner selves will grow to be stronger, we learn to ignore the naysayers, we form new perspectives on Life and gain alternative strategies on how to traverse this world we live in. It is at this moment that your inner soul is no longer as ignorant as it used to be; all sorts of Joker , big or small, will be born.  Joker (2019 film) From the Big Bang, to the formation of our solar system, to the existence of Mother Earth, to the creation of various lifeforms, to the evolution of Homo Sapiens, to the birth of your very self.

Start From The Things Where You Can Do Best, To Make The World A Better Place

To be able to make a contribution to mankind or the society can also be a kind of blessing. Take a step back and look at the Life most of us are going through thus far. In order to minimize inconvenience in our lives and the lives of others, most of us practice self-restraint. That is how the majority of us try to do in order to get us to where we are at various stages of Life. In the face of growing old and moving toward the livelihood of being an old man, the majority of us, at least, can perhaps attempt to shift away from our current standpoint or way of thinking of restraining ourselves towards something that speaks "do-what-you-love-to-do" as the focal point in living. One of the practical way of doing this is to transform that "who-am-I-doing-it-for" or "this-is-for-the-good-of-the-community" that forms the basis of our survival in today's context by adding in the element of "doing-what you-love-to-do". I deeply believe that

Courageous People Will Make Themselves Look Normal. 5 Signs Of "Courage" Based on Alfred Adler's Psychology Theory

Image
Those who lack courage, will resort to all means possible to look 'special'; those who possess courage, will blend themselves in as being 'normal'. Courage is the feeling in which you experience strength and you are of worth, as well as the belief that you can take on Life's problems. Life's going will never be all rosy and smooth-sailing, it may sometimes be due to work, interpersonal relationships, love relationships, or parent-child relationships; or it may also be due to a series of obstacles you faced along the way. Whenever we encounter difficulties, all of us are given two choices: one is to face it head on, and another is to run away from it. The latter of which is termed is Superiority Complex and Inferiority Complex. Let's take a look the 5 signs of "Courage" as advocated through Alfred Adler's school of thoughts.  The feeling that you are capable and worthy of achievements The crux of the problem is that avoiding problems
