Changes (2017 version)

Yes here it is, 2017.
What are you looking to change? What am I?

The world always spinning, changing.
Yet never once seemed to change to accommodate me, what can I change?

Last year I wanted to stop the outrage. Stop. The. Outrage

Yes I wanted to stop being so outraged and upset about everything.

I did OK.
I found I was able to focus more on today, the here and now rather than time traveling – to the past or to days and anxieties yet to arrive.

There was some success but then I’m not afraid to admit I am somewhat of a work in progress.
It’s hard to change habits that have been committed over decades.
But I tried.

I think I’m more relaxed now.
So I’ve got that going for me.

In past years I’ve started the year by trying to be more grateful; by practicing daily my 4 corners for better health (physical, spiritual, mental and emotional); writing 10 ideas everyday and; by stopping the outrage.

I think resolutions help me get better. Better at living life.

This year?
I’ve found there are still too many areas needing attention. Still.

So I’ve composed a list.
Of things I want to do this year that will help me get, and keep me, on track.

1. To always remember “I am, therefore I owe.” I’m grateful for my life, and I owe it to someone.
2. To be slower in reacting to negative people.
3. To not judge those who are simply different from me.
4. To be a better person. It’s too easy to judge others who don’t meet my expectations, so
5. I want to meet my own expectations first.
6. To always remember those who lived and went before me, they had a greater impact on me than I sometimes admit.
7. To see goodness in everyone I meet.
8. To forgive and be merciful to others who have wronged me. Or at least stop reacting to them.
9. To be compassionate in a passionate way.
10. To be a better husband, father, son, brother and friend.

A difficult task to list these goals. Even more difficult to do them.
May not succeed like I want.
But I will try.

I used to think I could change the world.

Think there’s a better way.
Now I’ll settle for changing.
Just one man.

Ciao.
