a new year, a new start.

Another year has been given to us. Another opportunity to change and make amends. A year where our lives could change forever.

A new year is always exciting for everyone. We all find ourselves thinking about what are we going to do in this year, and what this year has prepared for us. We make goals and plans. We decide to change.

That's an important thing. Changing. But changing for the better, always for the better. And persevere, because we can make as many goals and promises as we want. But, if we don't decide to start doing it, the promises will be just that. Promises. Those promises have to be turned into achievements. That's the only way to success.

We can make a change, a difference, only if we want to. It's in our own hands, and in no one else's to do it. We should see this new year as a gift, as an opportunity. As a new and fresh start.

bad days;

It just happens. We wake up one day and we feel bothered by something, someone or the world itself. The food doesn't taste well, the weather isn't nice, our least favorite teacher seems to be in one of his/ her "days" of the month. We start to wonder if all the people are in some kind of conspiracy to ruin our day, like they have planned this for days and they are actually recording this "master plan" of theirs on tape, making us the protagonists of it.

On those days, we feel so angry, sad, tired, frustrated, that we don't want to talk to anyone. In those moments the last thing we would want to do is socialize.

We should always remember that it gets better. It always gets better. This might sound cliché but it's true. It's us and our attitude that could change and turn the whole situation around. If we decide that something will ruin the rest of our day, of our week. I promise you, it will.

It's interesting how our thoughts can influence in what could happen to us. It's a really simple rule, if we think negatively, we will attract negative situations. If we think positively, positive things will happen to us.

I completely understand that things won't always go as expected and we will feel frustrated about them. We are humans, that's what we do, we have feelings. Now, if you don't have feelings at all, that is something to worry about.

We need to learn how to have a positive attitude even if things seem bad. We need to know that everything has a solution, there's always a way out of a problem, we just need to calm down, breath and think, not act impulsively. Things won't get any better if we act like that.
