There’s no denying it - - I’ve been a lazy blogger the past few months. (To clarify, I haven’t been a lazy person by any measure – just a lazy blogger.) Well that’s all over now.
With every new year comes new goals, perspectives, promises, outlooks and dedications. It’s funny because this can really happen anytime during the year. I can decide in July that I’m going to hit the gym every day and get down to a healthy weight. I can tell myself in November that today is the day I quit drinking soda. Maybe in March I decide to finish all of the half-done projects meddling in my brain/computer. So I beg the question, why do we wait for a new year?
When I’ve made resolutions in the past they’re typically outrageous. Some in the past have included: losing 50 lbs, 4.0 at school, more time at work vs. less with friends, re- devotion to family, ending world hunger, revitalizing the Brady Bunch, saving 30% of my earning (yea right!) and blah blah blah blah. This year I’m moving away from resolutions and toward realizations.
That’s my theme for this post – REALIZATON. Instead of saying, I’m going to change this or become this person. Take a long objective look at your own person. Realize who you are, where you are, why you are. Once you’ve accepted that, then you’re in the position to take yourself where you want to go.
I’ll tell you where I want to go. I want to be a regular at the gym, a moderate 3-6 times a week. (So if I only make it 3 times – I still feel accomplished.) I want to ad 1-2 clients per month for my professional position. I want to finish my education at IUPUI and graduate with a Bachelor of Science in New Media Arts & Sciences.
These goals aren’t deadline oriented, they’re not out-of-reach and matter-of-fact… they’re not even goals. It’s simply my level of measured success I wish to achieve. So if you have a resolution, goal or promise you’ve made yourself – it’s time to focus on the REALIZATION of that commitment.
A quote from the Dalai Lama himself, “With realization of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, once can build a better world.
