A New Year

A new year with a new beginning and a new set of values! At least that’s what everyone seems to think.

A new year's resolution? Maybe not! What we seem to fail to realize is that at the end of every year, we weigh out everything that’s bad in our life, and try to "quit" it, as if that is the only thing going wrong.

This year I'm going to:
Lose 10 Kgs.
Quit Smoking.
Quit Drinking.
Quit Eating.
Be more adventurous.
and oh don’t forget: Find the "special" one.

Just how many times do we have to do that year after year, and how many people actually accomplish one thing.

Next year I'm going to:
Lose 10 Kgs.
Quit Smoking.
Quit Drinking.
Quit Eating.
Be more adventurous.
and oh don’t forget: Find the "special" one.

and the year after that:
Lose 10 Kgs.
Quit Smoking.
Quit Drinking.
Quit Eating.
Be more adventurous.
and oh don’t forget: Find the "special" one.

If age, is only a number, then why does the world revolve around one "birth date" in a year. Is it because it is the only "birth date" everyone on the planet has in common: the day the earth was born? REALLY? What happened B.C.? Did they count down backwards? Or in this case, forwards?

I just believe that the set of goals set and accomplished on a daily basis are much more achievable than on a one year basis. Because, what happens is, that we try to have a LARGE number of values and goals to accomplish at the beginning of the year, then slowly shake most of them off due to excessive smoking/drinking/eating and no special people, and end up with a small number to carry over to the next year and therefore, diminishing important values and notes that get buried deep down under because of failure.

Here's to the EVERY DAY IS NEWYEARS!
