Resolutions Need Fortitude

At the end of a year I always reflect upon what I have achieved and what I would like to improve on, but I never really put New Year’s resolutions down in writing. That would formalize such thoughts and come with the requirement to reach those goals. Perhaps I am lazy or simply lacking faith in my own drive and abilities?

So I am browsing through some diaries, which is always enjoyable, and there they are in black and white, New Years resolutions committed to permanence on Splendora, and for everyone to see. I think to myself that these girls have more guts than me, and I feel the pressure to stand up and declare my intensions as well. Should I dare?

1. Grow my business, both financially and in reputation.
2. Work less, spend more time on myself and get out more.  (I just realized that this could provide a problem for #1.)
3. Get back in shape and live healthier.
4. Dedicate more time to my friends and make new ones.
5. Continue mentoring and get more involved in certain charities.
6. Try to look more at the positive aspects and the silver lining first. (thinking back it has always served me well)
7. Finish designing my place.
8. Take classes (intellectual, creative, physical)
9. Make the time to read more and see more movies.
10. Get greener.

It is done, I made a commitment, and now I will need to see it through.
