2012: The Coming Storm
I want to warn you about getting caught up in the “New Year” crap that you’re going to see in the next few days.
Every New Year brings us new resolutions that we promise to ourselves, how to do this and that better… the list goes on, doesn’t it.
I’m not someone that believes in the end of the world either. There’s enough doom and gloom in our own backyards to worry about some prophet or calendar proclaiming the end of all things. It’s just bullcrap.
If you feel the need to make promises to yourself that’s fine. Just keep them reasonable, keep the goals within your reach.
Making far-changing, life altering resolutions often end in disappointment and even depression.
So go slow, take baby-steps, and have yourself an awesome 2012.
2010 — Happy New Year!
This New Year of 2010 is now upon us.
I wish you well and can only hope for the best of opportunities in the coming year for you.
Looking back, 2009 was a big bag of disappointment, wasn’t it?
If we took all that we learned from the last year and made a list of what we had planned to do and what we had really accomplished it would just be a mess, wouldn’t it?
Yes, last year sucked.
This year I have some New Year’s Resolutions for you… just a couple simple suggestions that will make 2010 the Best Ever Year you’ll have!
1. Take a night school or online course to better your education and/or job skills, or to increase your social skills involving other people take a conversational language course
2. Save more money. We all know that you should be saving 10% of your paycheck for a rainy day. Make this happen. Put yourself on a budget and increase your wealth while paying off those bills
3. Keep in closer contact with family and friends. Life gets hectic, becomes out of control and before you know it’s summer and you haven’t seen ‘so-and-so’ for months. Call/email them now and make a date to see them within the next two weeks. And do it!
4. Pick a date and pick a time, and give yourself 2 straight hours a week to just hang with yourself. Discover your ‘aura’, find ‘zen’, rediscover the religion of your youth, or just go for a walk in your neighborhood… a poor person is one that cannot afford time to spend alone, free of the pressures of day-to-day living.
Move forward. Assess risk and take the jump. Live life to it’s fullest every day. The only challenge is moving yourself out of your own binds and that will become easier every day in 2010 if you give yourself the chance.
