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

I never used to keep my New Year resolution for more than a month, and then back in 2006 I made a New Year resolution I've been keeping ever since! That NY resolution was to never make another NY resolution :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

No resolution, no promise n no problemo :P
ReplyDeleteHey thanks for ur comment....especially the reference to the tree, yup Im so-snd-so big bro {everyone knows her :)}
ReplyDeleteHappy new year bro and see to it that you stick with the resolution thing...lol
ReplyDeleteLiving one day at a time is definitely a great resolution, I guess the older we get, our resolutions become more mature, practical and realizable. "Quit smoking" may well be the resolution broken the most times, and I'm not just talking about myself. So I'm gonna stick to "Save some for a rainy day"!
