Believer of power within
NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS? 26 years going strong, and I still do not understand the need to put up a list of new years resolutions. To me it always felt safe and real having all the things I want to achieve within a lifetime kept in my mind. The next step in my life is not figured by a list I made in a notebook. The next step of my life is figured by the next phase the year brings me into. Say for instance the next year I will be doing my final year; I know in my mind that I need to dedicate myself into studying and passing. I do not need to make a list on a notebook to know that.
What stage am I going into in my life right now? what is worth making a list that I will/might forget doing for myself? If I so much know what I want and need, why do I need a book to note that down. Don’t get me wrong, I am a strong believer of making notes and jointing things down. I really love making notes of things like quotes I come across from movies that amuse me, lyrics that have a meaning I can strongly relate to, book quotes, grocery, ideas, and those sorts of stuff. To me those are the things worth jointing down. Otherwise, I hold the power to decide what I need and want in life and what step to take next to achieve it. I will not wonder off out of my way simply because I didn't have a list.
We must keep in mind that even though it is a new year, most of what we have done the previous year will determine what is to follow. Some of you seem to think it is an eraser of the past.
I have to agree that we hold the power to decide on what we need and want in life.
ReplyDeleteTo me, a New year resolutions list is not different from a shopping list. The aim is to note down what you can archive in one year and note down what couldn't.
