Picture This.

now is the time when everyone thinks of all their bad habits and attempt to begin new ones. in hopes that they will replace the old with something better. hmm...do i have bad habits? hehe. we all do I suppose. but ironically there are only two new year's resolutions for me. And of course we all know that writing them down actually helps achieve that elusive optimistic frame of mind. So first - learning to be patient. A worry-wart at heart, I pretty much panic at the sight of something uncertain and just turn around and walk away. It's a fear I guess. Or a desire to control everything and everyone. So this is the year of letting go. Do everything you can even if it means risking a lot. No regrets. Just courage.

Second - achieve the dream. Everyone knows what this is. I think it has been what - about three years in the making? This will be more difficult and there are so many possibilities that again, here comes the need to have courage and patience. But with great risk comes - not responsibility - but dedication. It's not enough to just wait. It is important to live your own life and do what you need to do. Whether difficult or not. I think I already have the resources, the framework that I have been building for, again, three years. And this year is the time to grab it!

So there's my new years resolutions. Nothing fancy. Not based on a book like The Secret or a movie. Just having known myself and having learned so much from others makes it even more challenging and exciting.
