The same goes for people who want to change. I think a little rebranding is necessary as we grow. The things that were important to me in my teens and then my 20s are not the same things that I value now.
I don't understand the New Year's Resolution. Makes no sense. The change you wanted to make in yourself is tied to a single year? I know it supposed to be the start if something new, but it seems so hollow. I see people make grandiose statements in December or January, where are those ideas in June or October?
I think the hardest part about being a functional adult/friend/employee is looking at yourself and evaluating the need for improvement. As humans we condition ourselves to the current paradigm pretty quickly. Bad habits are hard to break, we have to create new good habits instead.
I'm far from perfect. But I am aware of it. I try to recognize the change that I want to be. And I ask my friends and family to tell me if something ISN'T working. And they do haha and I love them for it. I think a lot of people are afraid of honesty or "truth" because they aren't ready. I'm always ready. Truth is relative and humans add emotion into everything. If someone close to me is exhibiting unhealthy or dangerous behaviors or behaving in a way that is contrary to what they've said, I have to speak up. Try it sometime, I honestly think the world could be a better place if we were all truthful with each other. Criticism or observation doesn't have to be negative, grow from it.
I probably self-examine too much.
