Life is a journey and our experiences and stories varies. Some personal story are good while some are bad. It is not the story line that is the most important, but the lessons we learn from each experience. As we continue the journey into the year 2018, there are certain requirements we need to sustain our journey. The basic requirement are the lessons we picked from 2017, in addition to motivation, love, and faith.
If you have not learned any lessons in 2017, it is possible you may repeat the same mistakes. Learning is a critical part of life, as human beings are considered to be students on earth, and every experience comes with its lessons. Some experience teach us courage, tolerance, hope, patience, hard work, faithfulness, perseverance, love, friendship, etc. Just like in our school settings, when we apply the right formula to a math problem we arrive at the right solution, life also requires the right formula to solve the daily challenges.
As we step into 2018, be ready for self-improvement, you need to step up, and be ready to learn. To achieve our goals in life, we need motivation.
Daniel Goleman, the writer of numerous books on Emotional Intelligence, identified four essentials qualities that make up motivation:
a. Personal drive.
b. Commitment.
c. Initiative.
d. Optimism.
Love: be willing to show more love in 2018, but remember love begins with you, as you cannot give what you do not have. Calmer and stable love radiates and has good health benefits.
Faith: Man is never alone, the Almighty has provided all the help he needs to survive on earth, and one of such help is faith. Though we may have faith in people, money, wealth but we realize that all these things do fail. On a bigger note, faith in the Almighty is outstanding and more comforting. We are limited to the things we understands, but faith in the Almighty helps us clear the doubts while looking ahead. Faith is spiritual and so we must always find a balance between our physical and spiritual well being.
The end of the year calls for self-assessment which must be done by you. Make out a quiet time and take a careful look at all areas of your life, be honest to yourself, because honesty is the path to receiving help. After a careful self-valuation, score yourself, and come up with ideas on how best to improve yourself in 2018. Remember, the world is evolving, things have changed, it will be unfair for us to remain stagnant without improvement. Have a lovely 2018.

Love totally begins with oneself. Learning how to love oneself is the key to being able to show love to other people around the world and create the life of superabundance. Here's a nice write up of how to love oneself first. https://steemit.com/life/@jasongrant/how-to-love-yourself
Hi @bestgift,
How beautifully you talked about the philosophy of LIFE critically as well as logically. Life seems very pleasant but never easy.
Today I learnt something new from your blog
You are absolutely right life is all about struggle and going on..
At the same time the biggest teacher is also Life who teaches you everyday through tough experiences of Death, through sweet experiences of Love, through worst experiences of accidents, through odd experiences of wars and many other approaches.
I am really thankful to you for posting this beautiful blog.
