Why do people always make these ludicrous assumptions about what they are going to accomplish in a year? If you ask me, setting the bar so high always results in horrible disappointment.
Quitting smoking, losing weight, promising to stop listening to catchy music that you’ll likely find on NOW music CDs, sounds like a laudable goal. However, these are things that if you find issue with, should just be changed at the here and now, and not as something to remind yourself to attach a year to as a target.
My goals? My goals are simple.
Draw and Stuff. I want to fill up my brand new art book by the end of year with doodles, comics and drawings. How easy is that? Not only that, but it’s something FUN that I can actually look forward too. Maybe if I get brave enough I'll share my kindergarten-level artistic ability with you. Oh and the reason stuff is there is to keep the rest of it pretty vague.
Practice yoga. This isn’t for any health nut weight loss business. I just would like to be a little more flexible from time to time. Plus yoga is good for the whole meditation business. If you notice, I didn’t put a set amount on this resolution. That means if I only go one time, mission accomplished.
Learn Spanish. This one I consider the toughest, but I get insanely jealous of bi-lingual people and incredibly paranoid that whenever a conversation is going on around me it’s probably about me. (I mean why else would you switch languages if you see me standing right there?) I want to learn it so I can go “locos rojos” when I catch people dissing me.
So yeah, my resolutions are short and sweet and actually accomplishable. I considered adding winning the lottery to my list, but seeing how I really wouldn’t have any control over that other than blowing lots of money trying, I decided against it.
What are all of your guys’ resolutions?
P.S. Yes I know this is a little past date, but I have catching up to do!
