It occurred to me on my birthday this year that we're going about our personal goals and resolutions all wrong. Every year, on New Year's Day, we all come up with a list of resolutions, most of which are forgotten within the first month.
Why New Year's Day? I mean, it is a day of new beginnings, but it's the same big day for everyone. Why not start a path of renewal and rebirth on the day that is most personal every person---your birthday?
I'm not going to write down a list of resolutions. My goal is simply to live better, healthier and exist more in the moment. As I achieve goals, I might document them as a little pat on the back. But to make a list seems self-defeating before I even start. Besides--what I wish to achieve is, quite simply, continued health and contentment. There's no way you can plan for that--you just do it by making the right decisions whenever they present themselves.
With that in mind, rather than watch a movie or play XBox, I'm headed upstairs to work out for an hour....
