New year was already started and there are many new years resolutions that people have and planning to do. Some will lessen or eliminate something and some do add or change something in their lives that will lead to betterment in theirselves. For me, its should not be just for new year to come but instead a lifetime and everyday resolution as long as it is good and for the betterment of a person. Lets try to be a better person each day than to feel bitter and being so bitter with things that we don't have and things that we wanted to do or wanted to have yet still didn't happened. Lets not feel bitter when other people are doing great in their lives or having things that we also want, instead we should work hard and do our best to be a better individuals while reaching our goals as well.

I agree with you. I don't feel bitter in my life. Even if I don't possess or own a lot of things. I'm satisfied with what I have and feel happy about others' achievements and success. It's better for us to work harder than to waste our time feeling envious of others. Goodluck to all of us. Let's do our best to make our lives become more successful. Happy New Year! Thanks for sharing and happy mylotting.

Yeah doing our best for our lives is what we should do since we only live once.We should change for the better and stop feel bitter in life.Life is not perfect indeed yet we can do about it to make it better for us.We can get and have everything or even the best in this world, but at least we aim to be better.

Absolutely right. The resolution should be continuously made. It is our goal to always improve and be better each year that comes in our lives. Bitterness should be removed right away, we all deserved blessings and if other people are doing well that's because they work hard for it.

Resolutions is a great way to motivate people to do changes in their lives that lead into something good and even better.But I guess we better do it right away instead of doing it by next year or next day.Doing it right away will be a good start of being a better person we can be.

Absolutely correct, why the long face. Everyday, we are given a chance to make better so let's not dwell on the past. If we din't do well yesterday, we can make it better today. As you have said " be better instead of feeling bitter" just like in the TV series. Have a positive outlook on life.

There are many opportunities out there, the best we could do is choose the one that suits us. We can't go far by being idle, so have your dreams and put it to reality.

Positive outlook could really help a lot. We always have chances in life yet we just wasting it by prolonging and indulging the bitterness that we had.We can't avoid it sometimes yet we could stop it and change for something better.

Very true ardoy. Not only should we be better at the start of the year but for the rest of our lives. Instead of being bitter, we should strive to work harder to be better and not be envious of others' success. If don't have our neighbor's things, then we should strive harder to be able to buy those things. Meanwhile , be contented with what you have while you are still trying to attain those goals in life.

Yes right.We have to implement this resolutions everyday as long as it will for the better and will not cause nay harm or bad to other people as well.We can't get thing in just an instant and right away, so we really have to work hard and determine especially if it will lead to something great and changes in our lives that could make us feel a better individuals.

I completely agree with your comments and thoughts. This is not always an easy thing to do but we can work at it. We will not always get what we want. Life is precious and time is short. We at times need to make sacrifices for more important things. When we learn to be content in a sense with what we have then we strive not to focus so much on what others are doing or what they have. We need to work at being happy with what we have and what we are doing.

Yeah I agree we need to try to start our day off well with a good attitude and feeling about our life. This can help our day go so much smoother. This will also help us to look at others in a better light with a different attitude about things. It is a struggle when others focus on wanting more or about being bitter. We need to be different though.

Nice to know that agree with the things that I have said.Being happy in doing things is important so we will feel good while doing a certain things.Feeling bitter could somehow contribute in being and feeling sad.Lets start the day with a smile and end it happy.

Doing it everyday is a great start to be better.Its not required or needed that change or resolution is big or great but starting it even in simplest and smallest thing that we wanted to change for the better would be a great start.It will not just beneficial for ourselves but for the people around us as well.

I am satisfied on everything about family, friends I made this year, my brother, my doggie but only one thing I do not satisfied at all is money. I just want to earn a decent living but it is so hard everyday are with war and I am lose of it. My new year resolution this year is having some projects for me to do, I am a telephone interviewer from a market research company. So no projects means no money for me sometimes and I had to fetch money somewhere else.

Being content and satisfy is important yet so hard to achieve for some people. I do hope that all the things that you planned and wanted for this year will come true and for your to achieve.Good luck and hope for the best.

AMEN to that! Although every new year signifies the start of a new beginning, I think we should always make ourselves renewed most especially in time when we seem to be at our lowest point. We should learn to pick up the pieces and build a much stronger and better person in us.

I agree friend. many are filled with bitter thoughts when some one are in better position or achieve what they want.But that's not right at all. we should feel better "right" and motivate ourselves to achieve what we want and take the people as our inspiration.This makes us better instead of bitter.

Yeah its better instead of bitter.Life is full of struggles and problems that may lead to bitterness that should let it happened and allowed us to feel that way.I think its our choice how we could handle and choose what is better for us.

What a great advice from our young friend here! That's what we should really do. Trying our best to improve everyday is one good way to do in order to attain success and reach our goals in life. Sometimes, it is a sad thing to know that some of us just remember to change for the better at the start of the year. Let us be consistent and continue improving ourselves.

Thanks. It a realization for me since I heard so many resolutions from people around me about things that might do this new year, what so called new year resolution.I think we just do it in daily basis that could really help a lot in changes that we wanted in our life.We make our lives better and make this world a better place to live in as well.

You inspired me for that thought. Yes, you are right. I learned on this year that I should strive hard for more improvement and for me to reach the success that I am aiming.I want this new year to be more prosperous and fruitful. I want to be more productive and be adventurous. I will minimize being bitter too. I will do the best that I can be.

Nice to know that someone got inspired with this discussion that I wrote. Its just a realization for me since I wanted to be more responsible and mature individual.Life is full of bitterness but it will up to the person it they will prolong it or just do best to overcome and eliminate it.

life is too short and bitterness will not prolong it so better not to waste our life to negative things and bitterness. let us strive to be a better person everyday to inspire people. if you become bitter, the world will turn its back from you but if you smile and be better, the world will surely smile and rejoice with you.

We really have to overcome and eliminate bitterness in life cause it won't result anything good to us yet it just prolong the sadness and negative vibes in life.We can't avoid it sometimes but we should try out best and find a way to eliminate it and just work hard to be better.

I also agree. Since the beginning of this year, both my husband and I have been sick. My New Year's resolution was to exercise more. But, with being sick, that hasn't been as possible as I hoped so far. But, there is no point getting bitter or frustrated. I still have the rest of the year to exercise. YEAH. :) One of my neighbors is very negative and bitter. I just try to say encouraging things to him. There is no point in being bitter back to him. So, I just say something nice back to him.
