Many of you are waking up from your drunken stupor or watching the Oregon/Ohio State game on ABC. Welcome to a new decade, a new year, and hopefully a renewal of a new you.
2009 was perhaps the hardest and most disappointing year of my life, but I am focused on making 2010 (twenty ten) a renewal of my life, principles, values, and goals. Resolutions are not meant for just this time of the year, which is why I never do them, but I am convince that if today is the first day of the rest of my life, then I want to start now.
In six days, I will be 23 and I want this 23 year of my life to be the best year of my life. So I've thought of a few things I can do to help make it that.
1) Be Direct and upfront on everything.
Not saying what you mean or what you want at first is the worst mistake I've made in my life. It also pushes you needs to the backburner for those of everyone else. If you want to date someone, say that. If you want a job, say that. If you don't want corned beef for dinner, then say that. Let you're opinions and positions be heard without being overbearing.
2) Finish what I start.
This has a deeper meaning to me because this year I will complete two things that have haunted me. But in the grander philosophical scheme, it means that whatever I start and whatever I choose to do it must be done. I slacked on gaining those 10 lbs in Oct, so I have to hit the gym asap. Quiting will no longer be in the vocab.
3) Be wavy.
For the first time since Sophomore year, my hair is wavy. Colloquially, it also means being top-notch. I've never been a slouch with clothing, but this year I will not slack on personal appearance or articulation. You have to represent yourself the way you want to be seen.
4)Love thy neighbor & pray for thy enemy
I can't harbor the ill feelings and anger that could be my downfall. I will love unconditionally and live life carefree as I did before. I'll be conscious of who's in the circle and surroundings but I'll treat everyone as I expect to be treated and loved. I'll also hope for the best for even you that may dislike me. I can't do anything to change you mind about me, so why not hope that you live life as best as you can.
5)Ball
I have to save more money. I'll take advantage of that 401k offer, add a CD, stocks and other goodies and also clear up some of this debt (oddly I have a very small amount of debt like under $2000 but it still bothers me.) But you can't be a baller without giving back. Tidthe and doing my community work is also apart of the grand scheme in being the financiall/spiritually sound person I need to be.
What are you Resolutions?
