Well into the New Year this is a good time to reflect over the new year resolutions. Some doable, some outrageous! But all made with good intentions! After all new beginnings give a adrenaline rush like nothing else. Moreover they give us the hope of being happier, slimmer & richer! With so much of cheer and happiness going around...it is easy to overlook the fact that most new year resolutions are recycled...more like they are carried forward from the previous year. Or is it? I believe there are certain resolutions that need to be made & kept year after year as they do not have a "best before date". Here are some of mine (in random order!)...for the current year and years to come...
Take care of you: a common resolve at the beginning of the year, priority no.1 that steadily loses its ranking, as the months change on the calender! Health should be a priority, no matter ur age or profession. So get moving people! Don't wait for ur birthday, anniversary, monday or the 1st of the month. Start now. exercise. Walk, cycle, run or embrace yoga. Whatever ur calling. Lets start now. Remember u r all u've got, don't give up on urself!
Eat healthy: surprising coming from me, because according to my mom I have an extremely unhealthy eating habits. Much as I hate to admit it, like the boss mom is always right (well almost always) and it does not hurt to listen to ur mom every once in a while. So instead of a brownie, its going to be an apple, banana instead of potato chips and what do we replace aerated drinks with? While I figure that one out, let me move on to the next one...
Be positive: now, this i am talking from experience, so trust me on this one...if we drown ourselves in negative thoughts, we see negativity all around...and this law works the same with positivity! So better to be positive, good for u and people around u. Negative forces suck all the energy from u, while positivity fills u with vitality to take on the world. Easy choice, won't u say? Ok, alrite so not so easy to implement, but worth a try; one small step at a time! Spread cheer. Smile! Remember the world is not out to get u. It just does not have the time!
Belief: it is very easy to fall prey to someone else's perception of u, it happens many times with all of us. But the truth is no one knows u better than u! So it's ok to listen to people sometimes, but not all the time. As an intelligent creature use ur head. Belief in self helps us accomplish difficult tasks. If u don't push urself, u won't know what u r capable of doing!
Start something new: want to write a book? learn to cook? climb a mountain? travel? paint? learn a sport? a new language perhaps? whatever it is...the time is right now! Good luck. Tell me how it goes. And I will keep u posted on things at my end. Promise!
Be kind, be humble, be honest: no one like a dishonest person, especially I. So it is my endeavour to be truthful to the extent of my conscience. Be kind, be nice to people, for u never know they might be fighting a harder battle, everyone has their crosses to bear. No point increasing their burden.
Enjoy ur work: if a job is worth doing...it's worth doing well. So u were not singled out to have a bad boss or a stupid client...they were distributed evenly. So relax or get out. I got out of the corporate grind and am happy.
Make friends and most importantly be a good friend. A reliable friend. A true friend. Laughter is better shared.
Live the best life u can. Enjoy the ride. No one is getting out of it alive, so while at it make the most of it!
And lastly don't crib about the standard of living, the alternative sucks.
Have a great year and a fantastic life ahead :)
All the best!
