New Years Resolutions. I think theyre dumb. Wanna know why? Because Ive never kept a single one in the span of time that I said Id do it in. Not in my whole entire life. Here are some of the resolutions Ive made over the years: -read the entire bible cover to cover -save more and spend less -lose weight and gain muscle -figure competition I could go on and on and on. What Ive learned about myself is that the resolution sets me up for failure. I put pressure on myself to succeed. And then I fail. So, instead of making resolutions, I look back over my year and ask myself what I can do differently. What went wrong last year? How can I improve? What went right? Is it good the way it is or can I make it better? And I simply view January 1 as a fresh start. No pressure, just a clean slate. I may never read the bible cover to cover at any one time. But I hope I stay devoted to reading Gods word and applying His principles. What good is it to speed read the bible just for the sake of doing it if theres no application? Ill stay on top of mindless, needless spending because its just smart. Ive made the choice to lead a healthy lifestyle. Im not going to place some crazy pressure on myself to compete or be a certain weight, etc... I do know where my body feels most comfortable and thats what Ill work to maintain. See what I mean? Resolutions seem to be fleeting for most of us. Sure, theyre fun to make and dream about. But for me, I need something thats truly attainable. So, heres to a year full of balance! xoxoxo
