Only the Change of a Habit is a Valid Change

2008.10.13

Since then (the 2008 competition) I have changed a lot.

Only the change of a habit is a valid change, because it lasts long enough to influence the choices we make, and then the course of our life, rather than wither away with the passion-which is the case with New Year’s resolutions.

It was almost tested and admitted by everyone that new year’s resolutions seldom work, yet people still make and break it year after year anyway. As no one is contented enough with himself to not wish for any change, in special occasions, like Christmas, where good wills and good spirits prevail, people become less realistic and come to believe more in their belief and wishes. When one begins to rely solely on a belief in God to make any improvement of himself, which is actually to surrender his mind to others, he will put himself on a conveyor belt and let the spirit take the wheel. In stead of the other way around, he hopes the spirit of the new year to justify his change. No one will reach a goal without purposeful action unless by luck. But the greatest cynicism is a belief in luck.
