The first is concentrating on the past, and focusing on the unchangeable. The second is looking to the future and concentrating on what is yet to come. I suppose is possible to celebrate both ways at once, but one will always be more prominent than the other.
Personally 2010 was a banner year for me, I'd say a pretty big turning point. I took the time to take care of myself and get some things in order, and I believe everyone around me will be happier to be around the new and improved attitude.
In 2011, I want to focus on how I interact with the world around me. Sometimes I'm quick to get angry, I dwell on things that I see as unjust, and I'm perfectly willing to admit that it can't be fun to be around me when I'm in one of my moods.
So here's the list:
1 - Be less quick to get angry
2 - Listen more
3 - Talk less (this one may be difficult)
4 - Be a positive influence on my environment
5 - Help others
6 - Be a positive role model to our young people
Personal cliche stuff:
1 - lose that last pesky 15 pounds
2 - get back into the work out routine
3 - less Fast Food!! (this one might be hard, but it must be done)
and finally, saving the biggest for last:
Record my originals. I'll be 40 in two weeks and it's time to stop the talking and planning and get to the doing! So look for my debut CD, Chaos, by the end of 2011.
What are your resolutions? What are you going to do to stick with them? How are you going to be a positive force in your life and the lives of those around you? Time is fleeting, and it just goes faster and faster the older you get. Don't waste a second of it standing idly by and watching life go on around you. Get out there, jump in with both feet, take it by the horns, it's yours, there for the taking....LIFE, LIVE IT!
Happy New Year to you all, may 2011 be the best yet.
