New Year's Reflections

Most of our goals in life are to get the correct education, make the right friends, work hard, earn a good salary, lead a safe life, establish the right connections and it does sound good, I admit it, but most of the times life's path isn't that linear that we are able to march through it orderly like a machine. It actually resembles more like a merry-go-round with  ups and downs, highs and lows, successes and failures, dreams and disappointments. Events/ people are always changing and often times we are just forced to stop resisting and surrender to life’s flow simply because we do not control it anymore. I've learnt to accept it, though not easily, but I've made up my mind to continually seek to improve myself and hope that through each cycle of life, through each round it takes, be it a good or a bad one, I may become a better person.
