Everyone has got to have a chance to start their life all over again.

Does New Year mean starting a new life? I don't know, and I'm sure you don't either, but I made a wish precisely about this. I wish that in 2016 I would be able to erase my past and become a different kind of person mentally, physically, socially, spiritally and financially. I know that this is kind of foolish to rely on the outside world to change me, that this is the work that I'm supposed to do, but still, I childishly believe that something or someone exists who makes our deepest beliefs or wishes come true.

Hello Pancake and Happy New Year,

You can change yourself, nobody else will do it for you. Make a list of the most important things you want to achieve and find out and write down the steps you need to achieve these things. Everything begins with the first step and Rome wasn't built in a day.

Just a couple of small improvements to the text - 'beliefs' is one of the very few occasions (possibly the only one) where an 'f' doesn't change to a 'v' in the plural!

Hope this helps

Bob
