" Don't let your past define you. Let it shape you into the person you want to become."

Everyone has a past, mistakes and has been through tough times in life. No one always has a smooth and perfect life, but sometimes, it can be a bumpy ride along the way.
So many times in our lives that we spend so much of our time dwelling on past mistakes. It's just like we relive the past, and it is not useful; it will only hold us back.
I know sometimes it's hard. When we try not to think about what has happened to us, it's not something that we can change overnight. But it needs practice and most of all we need to train our thoughts.
As it said " If you can control your thoughts, you can control your life." But so many times, we let our thoughts control us. That because we unconsciously think our thoughts ,and often they are unproductive and self-abusive.
We are not our past mistakes or not our stories. But we are more than what we think we are, and we can be anything we choose to become.
"New Year brings us a new opportunity that is waiting for us to pursue. And it is a chance for us to begin again. No dream is too big to achieve. Anything is possible. It's time to make your dream come true. I hope this is your best year yet. Happy New Year."

I want to start New Year Day with a positive thought, inspiration, hope, faith, and passion because I believe these things will guide me in the right direction.
In my life, I have failed at life many times. And as I look back on my life, I realize that the end of something will always bring me to the beginning of something better.
And everything happens for a reason; sometimes, we don't get something we want; it doesn't mean we don't deserve it, but because we deserve better.
I believe that we can become anything we want as long as we have faith and passion. Most importantly, we need to keep walking and never give up until we achieve it.
"Be thankful for whatever happened over this past year. And believe that everything happens for a reason. Be open to any opportunities that the New Year may bring."

Today is the last day of the year 2020(I wrote a post-draft on Dec 31,2020, but it is published on Jan1,2021 ), and as it said, every end will always bring a new beginning of something.
Whatever happened to you this past year, be thankful for it because it meant to shape you to become a better and stronger person.
We can't go back to change the things that already happened. But we can learn from them.
Whatever your new year's resolution is, don't forget attitude is everything. The right attitude will guide you in the right direction.
