A new year almost here, and with a list
of new resolutions.
If you are in a dither as to what
resolutions to make - especially as you already know that you will
break most of them - then do what I did some years ago. Make a
resolution not to make anymore New Year resolutions. Honestly, this
is the only resolution I ever kept. Now I can admire my new strength
of character, so different from my old brittle, weak-willed nature of
former years. Oh yeh.
I think at this time as the old year
ends, it is important to take stock of ourselves ...... who are you
essentially as a person? Self-exploration is good, and over many
years I struggled to develop insight into myself and tried to understand my
faults. After a long time, I finally pushed all the delusional stuff
aside, and realised I didn't have any. It is good to have that
clarity at last.
Try it. A new year may not mean a new
you, but it could mean a different you. Would that be good? I think
there is no harm finding out. Emphasise the virtues and positive
facets of your character, and if it doesn't work out you can change
it all around the following year. That is the great thing with every
New Year. It's a new start every 12 months.
But for 2013, at least, here is a
sincere wish for a Happy and Bright New Year.
Oh! And not to forget, the last offer for this year -
