My New Years Resolution 2005
Everybody I know makes a New Years Resolution, some people follow through, others quickly forget them. I have realized from my few short years on this planet that keeping it as simple as possible usually yields the most dramatic and permanent changes – here are mine in priority order:
1. improve my health
2. improve the lives of people around the world
Pretty short huh- I truly believe that taking care of my own personal health is a selfless act- how can I help educate, help & inspire others if my own body and daily actions demonstrate the opposite? It is like having a doctor tell you to stop smoking when they are also addicted to nicotine.
Trying to make a difference in other peoples lives takes a lot of energy, time and can wear you down – unless your body and mind are strong enough. Physical toughness is but a shell compared to mental vigor required to get through life.
I tend to focus on things that I can actively control as well, wishing for “World Peace” is a very noble cause but what can I actually do to put a serious dent into it? Very little if anything at all- some causes are simply over my head. I also don’t place financial goals, although in the past I did this, it became more a source of stress then satisfaction. I have come to adopt a “seriously easy going” approach to live, I hear this often from Jamaicans and you know what- they are onto something! Whether I make a few million this year or a fraction of that, I will be happy with myself regardless.
I really enjoy taking time out my schedule to write these weekly issues, the number one request I get from members and non-members alike is to make it more interactive so that they can join in the discussions. Your wish shall come true very shortly, along with a new system to allow you to do the same
2006 will be an amazing year! Wishing you all the best!
