Fail Again! New Year Resolutions — Who Cares?

By Amarjeet Singh @ AJ • A hard reset for anyone stuck in “next year I will.”

2026 is just around the corner. Before you post another “New Year, New Me,” pause and ask: what did you actually change in 2025?

Be honest.

What were your goals for 2025?

Not what you wrote on paper.

Not what you told your friends.

Not what you posted for likes.

What did you actually do?

January came with energy.
February came with excuses.
March came with silence.
And by April… you forgot.

Every year, same story. New goals. New promises. New motivation posts.

Yet somehow, we keep missing the boat.

Why?

Because the world is not waiting for you.
Your bills aren’t waiting.
Your competition isn’t waiting.
Time definitely isn’t.

The uncomfortable question

Did the dream remain a dream because life was hard…

or because you were inconsistent?

That financial change you wanted.

That new business idea.

That skill you wanted to learn.

That healthier, calmer, stronger version of you.

Most of it is still sitting “somewhere there” — untouched, unfinished, untested.

The hard truth we avoid

We love motivation.

We hate discipline.

We love inspiration quotes.

We avoid uncomfortable routines.

We talk about change.

But we protect our lifestyle as if it’s sacred.

And then we blame:

  • The economy
  • The government
  • Our boss
  • Our partner
  • Our luck

Yet we rarely blame:

  • Our lack of focus
  • Our weak habits
  • Our excuses dressed as “being busy”
Motivation is temporary.
Discipline is permanent.

Attitude is not just attitude — Attitude is altitude.

Why resolutions keep failing

Because most resolutions are:

  • Too big
  • Too vague
  • Too emotional
  • Too dependent on motivation

“Eat healthier.” “Save money.” “Get fit.” “Start a business.”

Sounds nice. Means nothing.

What works is boring consistency: small actions, repeated daily, tracked honestly — even on bad days.

Not heroic moves. Not dramatic speeches. Not January-only energy.

Progress is built in the quiet days.

Reality check: nobody is coming to save you

Let me say this clearly, without sugar-coating:

No one is coming to rescue your life.
No one is responsible for your discipline.
No one owes you success.

The system doesn’t care. Social media doesn’t care. The calendar doesn’t care.

If you don’t move — you will be moved aside.

So where do we start?

Not with resolutions.

Start with truth.

Where am I lying to myself?

What habit is quietly destroying my progress?

What am I avoiding because it’s uncomfortable?

What do I do daily that contradicts what I say I want?

Then simplify.

Not 60 goals. Not 15 resolutions.

Pick ONE focus.
ONE habit.
ONE commitment you can keep even on bad days.

Because progress beats perfection. Every single time.

A different way to enter 2026

Instead of shouting “New Year, New Me”, try:

  • New habits, old excuses deleted
  • New discipline, less drama
  • New focus, fewer distractions

Stop waiting for January 1st to save you.

Start acting like today matters.

Because it does.

The final question (and this one matters)

Five years from now, when you look back…

Will you say:

“I tried, I stayed disciplined, I grew”?

Or:

“I had potential… but life got busy”?

Fail again if you must.

But fail forward.

Fail with learning. Fail with adjustment. Fail with honesty.

Just don’t fail the same way — with the same excuses — every single year.

If you’re serious about changing your focus, discipline, lifestyle habits, motivation, and mindset — and you want real conversations, not motivational noise — you can reach out to me.

No hype. No shortcuts. Just clarity, structure, and accountability.

Malaysia’s Silent Cancer – Are We Leaving the Nation in Such Hands?

Image
A Cancer We Chose to Ignore Malaysia is not waiting for an explosion. It is already dying of a cancer we refused to treat. Not sudden. Not loud. Silent. Slow. Deadly. This cancer has been fed by decades of failed policies, political games, race cards, corruption scandals, abuse of power, and a society that normalises shortcuts. From immigration leaks to the selling of government secrets and properties, the betrayal has been constant. Like all untreated cancers, it only grows. And one day, it will kill. Ministers, MPs, and the Politics of Betrayal Are we leaving this country in the hands of leaders who: switch education policies for votes instead of futures? divide Malaysians by race and religion rather than unite us? treat Parliament like a stage for shouting matches instead of reforms? survive sex scandals, money scandals, and abuse scandals with no shame? If this is leadership, then it is not medicine. It is poison. The Mirror of Our Attitudes The cancer is not only ...

Karamjit Singh – The Flying Sikh Malaysia Forgot

Karamjit Singh – The Flying Sikh Malaysia Forgot Karamjit Singh – The Flying Sikh Malaysia Forgot The only World Champion Malaysia ever produced in motorsports… yet we let him drive Grab to survive. By: Amarjeet Singh @ AJ There are some Malaysian names that should live forever. Names that should be written in gold, taught in schools, and carved into our national memory — not because they were lucky, but because they fought the entire world and won. One of those names is Karamjit Singh . A boy who watched Ari Vatanen rally on a grainy cassette tape and told himself silently: “One day, I want to be like that.” No sponsors. No fancy cars. No government programs. Just a dream, a father’s old Peugeot, and a hunger that burned like fire. A Malaysian who literally outran the world While most of us watched racing only on TV, Karamjit was out there beating Subaru, Mitsubishi, Toyota and the world’s biggest rally teams. A...

Was He Caught Without His Pants: The Death of Fixed Deposits & The Rise of Thinkers

Was He Caught Without His Pants: The Death of Fixed Deposits & The Rise of Thinkers Sabah killed the “fixed deposit” myth, exposed greed and complacency, and reminded Malaysia that the future belongs to thinkers – not fanatics, not yes-men, not lazy doers. By Amarjeet Singh @ AJ When Malaysians watched the formation of the unity government after GE15, many finally exhaled. The gates of Putrajaya had new guards. The old empire had fallen. For a brief moment, people felt fresh air. Maybe this time, reform would be real. Maybe this time, it wouldn’t be about race cards, contracts and cronies. Today, that air feels heavy again. Not because Malaysians changed, but because the system refused to change with them. The clearest slap came not from Kuala Lumpur, but from Sabah – where voters quietly did the unthinkable: they ended the myth of “fixed deposits”. They caught PMX politically without his pants on . 1. The Night Fixed Deposits Died For ...
