A letter from Emma about: A Year of No Resolutions

Dear Reader, 

This year I have decided not to make any new years resolutions. Not because I won't keep to them but because I  believe that you have any opportunity for change throughout the year and this should not be exclusive to the start of January. 

As many of you may know I really like quotes, so this year instead of resolutions  I have written a collection of my favourite quotes, which I hope will inspire me for the new year a head: 

"Ah yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it. "

- The Lion King

"Worry is a misuse of imagination."

- Dan Zadra 

“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling,

but in rising every time we fall.”

- Nelson Mandela 

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions."

- Dalai Lama 

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." 

- Oscar Wilde 

"Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."

- Abraham Lincoln 

"The first recipe for happiness is : avoid too lengthy meditation on the past." 

- Andre Maurois 

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”

― Mae West

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness 

was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I 

wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I 

didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t 

understand life.”

- John Lennon 

I have just noticed that lots of the quotes are about happiness, and I guess that what it's all about really: so have a 'happy' new year. 

I would love to know of your new years resolutions or any of your favourite quotes? 

Yours, 

Emma Dilemma

P.S. Quote of the day- all the above.
