Welcome! We have all entered the New Year 2025. The New Year is not just a period of 12 months but also an invitation to countless challenges, goals and struggles. Everyone has new hopes and new plans in their hearts. The New Year gives us an opportunity to say goodbye to the failures of the past year and fulfill big goals with new enthusiasm, new hope and determination. The key to setting positive goals is to make them ambitious and achievable within a set time frame. 

Choosing big goals is a sign of greatness, but making them achievable is a sign of wisdom. To avoid failure and disappointment, let us strive to move towards achievable goals. Choosing a meaningful goal is also a sign of wisdom, which can be divided into a planned step-by-step process to make it true. When we take small steps, it becomes easier to face the challenges we face and the next task becomes easier.

Good health is essential for struggle and success. Try to make your goals help you stay healthy. Mental health is equally important along with physical fitness. So choose the work and company of people who are beneficial for your mental and physical health. If you have healthy family relationships, try to maintain them. Choose friends with positive thinking. Family members prove to be the navigators of difficult times. Spend maximum time with your loved ones. 

For a good future, make a balanced budget that is in line with your income and expenditure. Budgeting does not mean not spending money at all. Making a budget is just a process of planned spending, what are your priorities and what you want to spend money on and what you want to avoid spending money on. Budget is the name of dealing with new needs and sudden crises in our income and limited resources in a prudent manner.

In the present times, people's tendency towards reading books is decreasing day by day. This is a negative habit. Books can be our best guide. Good books increase knowledge and positive energy.

When it is bitterly cold outside, it is a pleasure to sit on the sofa of our home and read a book by a good author. So in the new year, everyone should have a resolution to collect good books in our home and read them to get better guidance. Remember, literature has the power to change lives.

Take the resolution of cleanliness in your surroundings. The greenery in our country is not decreasing, but is disappearing. The air quality index has reached dangerous levels. Every citizen should contribute as much as possible in this green campaign. Come in the new year, let's plant some trees and take care of them. A good green environment provides good health, and increases our efficiency. In the current times, there are many types of pollution everywhere, so it is the primary duty of every responsible citizen to contribute his due contribution to reducing the level of pollution.

If we talk about personal resolutions, then these few things can prove helpful in improving your daily life. Do exercise 4 times a week, drink more water daily, eat raw vegetables and fresh fruits, avoid canned food, get enough sleep every night, use stairs instead of elevator, reduce sugar consumption, join a community fitness class and do take a walk for half an hour in the morning every day.

If we talk about the problems faced by our state Punjab, then the biggest crisis of the present times is the ongoing farmer-labor struggle. Farmers have been sitting on the state borders for their legitimate demands since February 12 last year. It is a matter of shame for the country that the farmer, whom we call Annadata, is crying hungry and thirsty on the roads. As a responsible media outlet, Aadara Paigam-e-Jagat prays in the new year that God may end this farming crisis soon. Every citizen of the country is suffering due to this.

Not only in Punjab but the number of educated unemployed is increasing day by day in the entire country. This is a big problem and many other problems are arising due to this. Due to this, the tendency of drug addiction is increasing and the tendency towards restlessness and crime is increasing among the youth. So the governments need to be aware of this too for proper nation building.

Wishing all the best, Aadara Paigam-e-Jagat wishes you a happy new year!!
