Birthdays come and go quickly, but resolutions can stick with you if you put your mind to it. As I get older, I realize more and more the importance of reflection and self-improvement to always be ready for that next step or phase in your life. While I do preach the “go with the flow” way of life, I know that it’s vital to have goals or resolutions to work towards.
誕生日はあっという間に過ぎ去っていくけど、その時に決心したこととか、今後の目標などは取っておけます。年をとるたびに、内省して自分をもっとどう改善できるかを常にしている気がします。普段は物事の成り行きに任せてる自分もいますが、やっぱりある程度目標を立ててそれを目指して動いていくのも大事です。
A little bit of birthday inspiration
Instead of listing up my own birthday resolutions in this blog post, I decided to collect some inspirational quotes that both my readers (yes, you!) and myself can find inspiration from or reflect on. Enjoy <3
誕生日月だから自分の目標をダラダラ書くのではなく、私やブログを読んでくれている皆さんがインスピレーションを受けれるような言葉を集めてみました。Enjoy <3

Good read!! I absolutely love those quotes! Nothing like starting the day and going to bed with positive quotes and motivation. My favorite is this one: “A ship in port is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for.”
