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.
