Well since this is my maiden attempt at blogging, and it is still very early in the year, I figured the best way is to start with talking about the new year. And of course, with talk of new year comes talk of resolutions. We all have them, promise to keep them and break them within the first month, if not the first week.
This time around I didn't really make a long list of things I will do to change the world this year. Instead, I decided to keep it simple by telling myself that I need to learn to live in the present. Well, I do have to admit that I have become a bit of a self-help junkie of late. Guess it's a natural progression as we get older to want to find meaning in all the chaos around us. A lot of the self-help material have this is in common: to live in the present. That is, to let go of past regrets, to not worry too much about the future, and to live in the now. Easier said than done, as we all know. But hey, we owe it to ourselves to at least try.
So I am now trying to learn to not dwell of past regrets, failures, and all those things I did that makes me want to kick myself now. I am also trying to reduce the worry wrinkles on my forehead by not thinking morbid thoughts of the future. And I am trying to count my blessings daily, before I ask God to grant me my wishes... :).
Never really figured myself to be into this New Age stuff, but I can't seem to help it. I guess it really is true that with age comes wisdom, and we find ourselves gravitating towards things that make us better people. Here's to hoping I become a better person this year, and in the years to come. And here's to a fantastic year ahead for all of us!!!
