“Happiness is dependent on self-discipline. We are the biggest obstacles to our own happiness. It is much easier to do battle with society and with others than to fight our own nature.” As Dennis Prager said, we are dependent on self-discipline and in order to achieve happiness and success, we must be the master of our own mind, hence why I chose it. I feel that in order to overcome my procrastination and little patience, I must remember the discipline I require or as Prager stated, I must fight my own nature. In this new year, I plan to practice playing my instrument for a few hours each day and that requires perseverance and self-control, both which go hand in hand with discipline. So, even when I find myself frustrated and want to quit, I will just think of discipline and remember that in order to achieve what I desire to, I must have the discipline that I need.

Last year, I would be intimidated real easily and put myself down and not accept myself of who I am. I want to be able to help myself and help others become stronger in personality and in physical because from what I see everyday, people are putting each other down and becoming depressed and suicidal. Last year, was a year where it got a lot of people down and give others a lot to think about their decisions, the people they're friends with, and reflect on negative things that make people reflect on negative things and make them angry about themselves. Girls would be mad at themselves that they would never be prettier or as pretty than most girls in school and they shouldn't think that and be happy that they're already beautiful. Guys don't have much of what they feel mad about themselves, but they all have something secretly of what they want and they know that they don't need something to make them better and they're already just fine. Now, people are excited or terrified of what will come along this year. No one wants to see anyone else be depressed or scared of what would happen to them, that's why people want others to become stronger. That's why I chose "strong" as my one word for 2017.
