My resolutions this year are pretty typical:
- Establish a morning routine
- Work out at least 5 times a week
- Learn to meditate
- Read 5 books a month
- Become involved in some sort of charity/volunteer work
- Start riding horses again
- Start painting again
- Be better with keeping in touch with old and current friends
- Take a big trip
But above all of these things (of course they will hopefully provide a promising contribution) the one thing I really want - deeply and truly want need - is to be happy. With or without any sort of romance to speak of. I want to be happy with myself. I want to be happy with my life. I want to do things that make me happy. I want to make those I love happy.
This is the year I’m going to be myself. I’m going to focus on simply just being who I am, really focusing on myself, and not care what anyone else thinks. So many people (myself included) get caught up trying to be someone they’re not, or trying too hard to act, and even feel, certain ways about things. If I’ve learned anything over this last year, it’s that you have to be who you are, no matter what. In life, in love, in your career, in EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO. Being anyone else is just letting yourself down. Why wouldn’t you want to show off all the awesomeness that is you?
Oh, and I’d also like to smile and laugh. A lot.
Period.
Here’s to 2010!!
