My New Years Resolutions

A New Year’s resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other. — Anonymous

To say that I am excited about 2008 would be an understatement. I anticipate every day, I am so excited about what the future brings it is so hard for me to live in the present, which brings me to my New Years Resolutions.

• Learn to forgive my self - I will cite the “I am only human” excuse, which is true. I have my faults, and my flaws, and I recognize and owe up to the responsibility for the mistakes I have made in the past. It has been hard for me to get over some of those mistakes and forgive myself so I can move on to greater things. This I feel is extremely important for me to work on this year, this is by far the most important resolution I have.
• Learn to live in the present - We cannot forget the past we can only learn from it, nor can we really concern ourselves about the future. The only thing we can deal with is right now, the present, and this is something I really need to work on. I can be a worrier, I have been a worrier as far back as my memories go. I was reading the newspaper by the time I was five years old and my mother had told me often that she thought as a child that I shouldered too many of the world’s problems.
• Learn to anticipate the future - Once again we should not worry about the future, we should live in the present but anticipate the future and what it brings.

I could write resolutions all day long about how I will be more organized, I will lose weight, I will start exercising, blah blah blah… but I feel if I can just work with these three resolutions I will find the solutions to any and all other problems I need to work on, so there you have it, my New Years Resolutions. I would love to hear yours.
