Birth-day revelations 2025- New year resolution 2026

 

Compromise is a heavy term. It embodies the delicate balance of negotiating differing perspectives, where both sides willingly make sacrifices to reach a mutual agreement. In my life, on one side stand my past beliefs & experiences and on the other side are the recent scenarios. Past beliefs are accompanied by fear of the future and presumed warnings, while current ones pose questions about unpredictable changes with no immediate answers.

The weight of the past and present has profoundly unsettled me, sending ripples through my very core. Nothing major has happened; it's about observing the little things.

So, my life is at a point where many illusionary paths and options seem to appear, but the clear one is nowhere to be seen. Where childhood beliefs and long-held concepts are being challenged by my inner self, and sometimes I find them unfounded or without solid ground. Essentially, it’s a disorienting experience that has left me feeling lost and adrift, struggling with a sense of uncertainty about who I am and where I truly want to go.

This has all affirmed one thing for me: that from my birthday until 2026, I need to fix one set resolution and follow it without exception; whatever may come, I should not deviate.

I shall be practising wabi-sabi, beyond those unnecessary smiles and fake concerns (but not rude). My old soul is not ready to compromise any more disturbance in the peace of my mind and my body. The dump of information is too much, the pressure to show “this-that” is unbearable, and I am severely overwhelmed to the level that I am bored with it. I now want to be consciously ignorant of many things, like what's happening around, who's going where, getting promoted or demoted, or even the silent murmuring about office politics.

The peace is of paramount importance, unequivocal and unparalleled, as of now. That's the resolution for 2026.

Myself, my books, my family, my health, and a bit of my help to society through my actions (no sequence and no priority as all are important).

Because life is simple and I am determined to achieve this. I have come to advise myself (and it does not feel compromise) that if I am not enjoying it, it’s time to step aside. Often clinging on out of ego or habit, but letting go might help me rediscover who I am beyond the set title or status quo life and be hopeful for new adventures.
