My New Year Resolutions For 2024

January 2, 2024 by SUMMER LOTUS 2 Comments

Jan 1st 2024 1 min read posted in The Power of Poetry on medium.com

Resolutions are often broken

Because they were often perfunctorily taken

This year I found the power in setting my goals

As I analyses them carefully and clearly with soul

First is self assessment

As they say, know thyself and the battle is half won

Know your weaknesses and your strengths

Work on them and achieve your ends

Next is self discipline

Set your time, learning effort, focus and be real keen

To attain knowledge, awareness and good health

You may even increase your wealth

Finally is self healing

For oneself and the World, PRAY

As one cannot control what is beyond one’s power

Prayer can and to that I add reading and writing with fervour

To each goal, their specifics are named

Everyday, this will be my game

When another year end nears

I hope to say it’s been a Great Year!

    Very soothing and encouraging is this poem setting forth your new year resolutions.
    Most important of all is self healing thro prayers because our human power is limited.

    Of course, that needs self discipline to attain knowledge, awareness and even wealth and prosperity.

    But first , as you have rightly said, it must start of with self assessment to know your own strength and weaknesses , then with it comes , hundred battles and hundreds victories .

    Keep it up , well done., very inspiring indeed are the words used and that is the way to live in the present and now moment, with peace of mind and harmony in your heart ❤️
