Celebrity New Year Resolutions: Famous Celebs Share their Extremely Personal Plans for 2014

The New Year is upon us already, we are all thinking about the 2014 resolutions we ought to be making or already have made (but never keep), to better our lives and allow for a more harmonious year. These declarations usually include spending money more wisely, treating people in a thoughtful way, losing weight and being more productive.

If you haven’t already given up on your New Year’s resolutions, good for you! Because I hope that these celebrities, such as Octopizzo, Jaguar and Eric Omondi are able to stick to theirs. Take a look;

Elani

To be able to stand in East Africa and have a voice. To keep our deadlines and not be tardy. To rebuke the devil of postponing. To be better musicians and better people.

Eric Omondi

My resolution is the same one, kunona. It’s been for four years running.

Gerald Langiri

2014 will be bigger and better both personally and professionally. However, I am not the kind of guy who places value on New Year’s resolutions. I set goals and work towards them. It’s not like I have a concrete reason behind it, my argument is, just how many people do you know that annually make resolutions yet never meet them? There are tonnes. I choose to live by making decisions every single day. I do not wait for the year to end in order to make them.

Linda Nyangweso

Hmmm…I don’t really believe in them as much as I used to. However, in the New Year, I am looking forward to enjoying the small things. The things that people do for me and the moments we share.

Obinna Ike Igwe

Obinna is going international. I am dumping all those people who send me funny messages and images on WhatsApp. My WhatsApp actually says, ‘if it’s not business, don’t WhatsApp me’. And I mean it. I am also shedding off all those ladies who hang around me for no business. The only ones I am excluding from this list is my mom and my girlfriend.

Miss Mandi

2014 for me represents three things: growth, happiness and love. Those are all the resolutions I’m going to need—more of each.

Shaffie Weru

Resolutions are redundant. I do not make them. Everyday I wake up is a new beginning. When you are focused you quit such traditions if I may call them that as you never know when your clock is going to run out. This way, you get to live your life in the now, in the moments, not counting the days till it’s an year ender and that’s when you’re like…what to do this year? None of that.

J Blessing

2014 will be huge. It will also be very different. My first resolution well in light of this, I’ve already broken it. It was to not be featured in any media, no interview, no nothing. Simply because I want my work to be the focus. J Blessing gets all the spotlight and this year, I want that to change that. I want him to take a step back and let my projects be what steals the show.

Nice Githinji

This year, I vow to be more tolerant of people and more patient with myself.

Mtumishi

Eeeh, mipango ni nyingi. Kuna ile project yetu na Mtumishi ya K24. We are hoping to finalise that. There are also other projects we are intersted in pursuing. I have also opened a security firm branded Mtumishi Security Services. Ukiwa na kashida, pigia mimi simu.

Adelle

Travel to Watamu and Senegal. Then fall in love with myself over again every day.

Jalango

To me, the sky is the limit. I want to go back to the court and play BBall. And by the way, I am one of the best basketball players in town. I am also planning to get married. Professionally, I will take my company to the next level. I also want to put up my own show. I am calling it my last shot. This will make my stand in comedy. Spiritually, tulikosana na pastor, lakini sikukosana na Mungu. I am a friend of God.

Scott the Violinist

I’m not a guy for New Year’s resolutions. I’m an all year planner. I do what feels right, and set goals as I go along.

Jaguar

Top on my list was releasing my new video. I did that yesterday so world zero, Jaguar, one. It feels pretty good to have my first resolution down. 2014 to me will be the year I will change people’s lives. I want to impact more change than I did in 2013. This year, my greatest vision is to be seen as a role model.

Joy Kendi

My very top resolution is to lose 10 pounds. I plan to cut out sugars or at least reduce how much sugar I take. I will work towards growing my blog and career. Volunteer more, get my organising gear in check, spend more time with the family, and make more newyear’s resolutions. Oh and, become a romantic. I know I’m the girl and blah blah blah…but seriously, I am not a naturally romantic person. That needs to change.

JB

It’s not resolutions, it’s resolution. I will be me and let others catch up, or better yet, I will let anyone who is not in my script follow.

Octopizzo

Sijamake bado. New Year yangu itaanza tarehe nane. By then, nitajua.

Abraham Bamboo

I don’t have any resolutions. What I can say is that 2014 will be bigger and better. Everything; more business, contracts, good things coming. I will also be sure not to repeat the mistakes I made last year.

Teacher Wanjiku

Diooo…mimi nitaeda njym (gym).

Anto Neo-Soul

I don’t do things like resolutions. However, I think I’ll start doing yoga. I’ll also make it a point to travel more. Last year, I didn’t get to travel as much as I would have liked. I’ll learn how to dance, professionally and not just for fun. I will also learn Capoeira. It’s a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics and music.

Rabbit

This year will be about doing things differently. I want to rebrand. Aside form that, I want to give back to society. If possible, I want to rid of lack. Thus everyday, I will do what I can to make someone else’s life a little better from what it was.
