My New Year’s Resolution this year is simple. I have decided that I am going to live. I am done setting lofty 12-month goals that mean little or nothing in the grand scheme.
It seems the people that have the greatest desire to live and achieve are those that are dying, and no longer have the chance.
This year, instead of setting some huge unattainable 12-month goal, I am going to evaluate my life and really determine what’s important to me; not what others tell me is important.
Then, I’m going for it! Whatever “it” may be.
I refuse to be one of those people that have every excuse in the book of why things did not happen as they planned, or they have play the blame game for their circumstances.
I am going to breathe fresh air. I am going to stare in the night sky and take in every star. I am going to marvel at the grass’ green hue after the rain. I am going to take in the simple things.
With every input there is an output.
As I take in life, I am going to do my best to use my God given talent to give back in every capacity I can.
One of my favorite quotes is from Erma Bombeck, she says, “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me.’”
I want to use up all that I have for the greater good.
I hope that you will do the same, and know what it means to truly live.
