Somos Lo Que Hay

Somos Lo Que Hay

 In a few hours, we bid adieu to 2021 and welcome 2022.  Oh, this has been our annual ritual, right ? And towards New Year's Eve, we hear left and right folks coming up with their NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION.  Whew, again ?  Since when have we been going through that cycle.  If my memory serves me right, I can vividly recall this repetitive cycle way back my grade school days.  I even remember no less than my teachers way back elementary and high school days requiring us students to come up with our respective NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONs even during those times when we were grappling and struggling for words.  

Oh yes, SOMOS LO QUE HAY is a Mexican movie way back 2010.  Simply put, it means WE ARE WHAT WE ARE.  Ahd despite that Gregorian calendar, it serves nothing than just flipping up the dates, come next day.  But not to cast aspersion with our best intentions, many of us [and that includes me in the past] innocently thought that all it takes is to write our NEW YEAR's RESOLUTION.

Without aspiring to be prophetic, very likely, come 2022, we would ask WHERE ARE WE ?  Simple though.  WE'RE BACK WHERE WE WERE YESTERDAY.  Without being a pessimist, come 2022, we would hear this refrain over and over again: 'THAT WE'RE BACK WHERE WE WERE YESTERDAY. If we were a lazy dog yesterday, there's a good change we'll remain that day come new year UNLESS we take a serious effort for it.

If we behold to be a success story by next year, I will and I will bet on you.  And if you were a lazy in the past till now, the good chance is you will remain that way unless you take that conscious effort.

In that Bare Bears movie, the bears decide to run away from America and live a new life in Canada.  And indeed they did, and as tey believed in themselves, leading a new lease o life in Canada, all that was left was for them to keep their focus as they wanted a new lease of life in Canada.  But bare bears or nothin, no one can foretell that your NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION will give you a guarantee to succced next year❗❗❗
