A New Sense Of Self

What's goodie blog world? Every year around this time obviously, people set a lot of New Year's resolutions and as a lot of my friends on Facebook and Twitter clearly agree, these resolutions are unrealistic and will never be met. People are not able to meet these resolutions because they set them for as years for the goals and simply continue to push them off until another year comes around....and then end up right back at the same point. New Year's Resolutions should be retooled into being new day, new hour, new minute, new situation and new opportunity resolutions because that will allow us to stay focused on these goals, achieve these goals, and enhance ourselves. The New Year does not have to come around to decide to make a change, because a new day, yet alone a new day is not always afforded to us....

Not only does the idea of the timing of a New Years resolution need to be retooled, but the actual resolutions themselves. "I'm going to be a better person." or "I'm going to stop being a bitch." or "I'm going to continue to just do me" are a lot of the quote unquote resolutions that I've been seeing and these are not only self defeating but unproductive as well. Here are a couple suggestions on more realistic and easier and beneficial resolutions/changes to make.

Not cursing out every person that makes you mad: it goes further than saving that person embarrassment but it also frees yourself from unnecessary stress and strain. He who angers you, owns you so remain in control of yourself, your feelings and emotions.

Not going to each and every party and studying for that test you need to: Not only do you get some well deserved rest and relaxation but you're preparing yourself for one of the primary reasons why you are in school; academic success.

Not waiting to give your life over to the Lord: you really never know when your last moment will be called. I'm not saying you have to start going to church every single Sunday but most importantly, you want to start a personal relationship with God.

Start smiling even in the midst of the storm: There is nothing like feeling confident in yourself overcoming when all is falling down around you. That is the first step in picking everything up; remember that you once had it and all and can have it all again.

Start spreading a positive word to those around you. You never know what a simple pat on the back or smile or compliment or kind word can do for someone. You'd always rather be the one that helped someone reach the top rather than the one that pushed them over the edge. And that's how you ensure you have people around you that want to see you reach the top.

Start fighting for what you want. We normally set resolutions that we will reach the top but don't want to take the first step in climbing the mountain. Start stepping out on faith and belief and confidence

Start realizing that until the clock runs out, you have an opportunity to make the big shot; but also realize that the clock does run out sometimes, so savor each second.

Start knowing that I support you in all you do and want to see you do your best. Please believe that.
