So it’s New Years Eve 2010. Do you make resolutions? I know some people think they are ridiculous, probably because a lot of them arent kept, but personally I like resolutions and I like New Years.
The New Year is a time when we can say “This is a pivot point, this is where things change”. It’s that time when we can start over. Can we do that any time? Yes, but just something nice about having a new year to start over with. It’s nice to look back at the past year and see what has been accomplished, and look on to the next year and see what is wanted to be accomplished.
The 2 big ones. Yep, you know what I’m going to say right? The quit smoking and the lose weight one. Well why shouldnt those be big ones? They are worthy goals. Smoking is bad for your health, being over weight is bad for your health. I am all for it. I just think we need an enduring spirit for these things. Any sort of resolution we make requires our commitment. My step dad often says he gives up swimming for lent, well he doesnt swim anyway, and its too cold for it, so its easy to commit to. But losing weight and smoking are wars. We have to have a mindset of that and be dug in. We also have to be prepared to lose a fight in the war. Remember, losing a battles doenst mean losing the war.
We only truly lose when we give up.
So as New Years approaches, I have a couple wishes for you. That you have goals, set them, and commit to get them. That you have an enduring spirit. That are healthy and happy in the year to come. And last but not least, that you keep coming back to my blog :)
Have a very happy and safe New Years!
