so, it's the end of yet another year. i can't be sure what i accomplished this year but hopefully (again, as i hope every year) that next year will be a better year. on this last night of the year, i oddly spent time with a group that i never thought i'd ever choose to spend new year's eve with. could be a good thing seeing that i took a step out of the norm. maybe this year, i'll finally step out of my comfort zone and be open to new possibilities.
as much as it would be well to make the same obligatory reflection on the year just passed, it may be better to treat the year as a path simply well trodden and in spite of the good and bad, happy and sad, success and failures, gains and losses, it has been another year in lessons and experiences. as another year gets added to our age, we learn only to manage better and open our minds and hearts to more.
bye 2013. you've not been all that bad for me, but 2014, please treat me well and bring me the happiness that i so badly want.
resolutions... i try in my obligated reflective state and burst of enthusiasm each year end to resolve to make changes and promise myself certain accomplishments and more often than not, i never complete the list. perhaps i need to give myself a little more drive and to honor the to-do list i give myself this year. no more excuses about a lack of time (goodness knows how much time i've wasted on redundant matters and doing nothing just because "i'm too tired" and "i need a break").
in 2014, you, the contradicting, obstinate, procrastinating fool shall:
1. dedicate time to read more - you buy too many books, want too many books and read too little. remember your childhood love?
2. get your driving license - seriously, need i even say more? it's been years!!!
3. make the year count - less procrastinating, more action.
4. open your mind, open your heart - you've self professed your intelligence both mentally and emotionally, so show some of it.
5. be a little less selfish.
6. take the much needed steps to be happier - rather than simply hoping for it.
7. spring clean your brain - there's too much unwanted thoughts in there.
8. self-development - no matter how young you still feel, grow and learn more.
9. rise in your career - it's now or never. work a little faster, work smarter than you think you already are.
10. travel - perhaps it's time to take a trip, somewhere new. i know how comfortable it always is to want to go where you've been so you relive memories and so you have no need to plan but include something new this year, for goodness sake. take in the sights of the beauty of the world. that is one thing you know you love and so take joy in that.
