I sat down on my bed, squeezed my pillow tight and stared at the blank wall in front of me. For a moment, I thought my past 23 years was a waste to some extent. Then, something sparked in my rusty brain and my tubelight brain stopped blinking.
I quickly grabbed a pen and a notepad and pressed the nib of the pen hard on the fresh white paper. I wrote NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION.
Then my mind went blank again..... Last Year it was memorizing verses from the Bible everyday..which I failed big time. I looked around trying to get some kind of inspiration.. There was nothing inspiring in room. With a big sigh I left my pen and pad on my bed and turned on my computer.
Staring Microsoft Windows XP.....
For an instant, I hate the blue screen, it made me more blue. But I love my computer..she's my third best friend.
Anyway, my desktop was neat and clean as always. Clicked D drive and opened Stuff folder...
There was my old Daily Planner One Note file....
It recorded the little things that I plan out each week.. That was back in 2006.
BINGO! This is what I'm gonna do.
I'm bad at taking up my New Year's resolution in macro-scales. So, I thought..Maybe I should study myself the first three days of each month and set a plan a.k.a resolution for the month.
I gave myself a big hug and went back to my pen and pad. Then I wrote...
1) Scan myself (inside out) during the first 3 to 5 days of each month.
2) Get a particular idea how to improve myself in a way that I could retrospect and say..I had lived a purposeful month.....
3) Get back to step one and step two till the end of the year.
Conclusion: New Year's Resolution=>>>> LIVE ONE DAY AT A TIME
There it is..my New Year's resolution. To be practical, I am a human being, I'm imperfect and I can't do everything at one time, though I had made zillion attempts on that and I failed 85% of it.
So, don't make mega big Resolutions that would later become a burden in your life. Live life, one day at a time. And for directions get a bible and read it daily, at least a verse... As a good friend of mine told me, BIBLE is Best Instructions Before Leaving Earth.
Cheers
