New Year Resolutions

With Christmas time approaching, so is the end of the year 2010. Ringing in the New Year usually means new resolutions people try to make and keep. Each year we all seem to make some type of vows to ourselves and others. It is in high hopes that we can realize these various goals before the following New Year arrives.

It is only the mid of December 2010, but I want to go in advance and get started on my New Years Resolutions for 2011. I wanted to get a jump on it for the reason that I just read a post online and it really made me think. I mean those deep thoughts which I hardly get any longer! Seriously! I live in a material world, as most of us do. And we should just slow down sometimes and truly think.

I do a lot of silly things. And people take me a lot of things for granted. I just really need to change my ways about some things. And hopefully, if I post those ideas down in my New Years Resolutions for 2011, I will be constantly reminded to stay on track.

I don't have a lot of resolutions to list right away. But hopefully, I will be paying a lot more attention to what life is all about within the next month and my resolution list will grow. Which, I intend on updating as they spin into my sometimes, pea sized brain.

Fully Live Life Now!!!

The delight and achievement you seek are here now for you to experience. If you are not fully present in this moment, when will you ever be?

Don't waste another minute by waiting for state of affairs to improve. The chance to live the best day of your life is here and now.

Grip this moment just as it is, and taste its prosperity. Step boldly forward just as you are, and fully live life now.

Preoccupying over what could have been or what should have been won't bring you any value. Following your positive purpose in this moment is what will create value.

You are now free from all the limitations you had imposed on yourself in the past. You can now see your best possibilities and act to fulfill them.

There is so much fortune right here and now. Open yourself to the beautiful experience that is yours to fulfill.

The Magnum Opus

You are a highly accomplished artist, creating the ongoing magnum opus of your life. It is an exceptionally unique work of art that comes to life more richly and more fully in your every moment.

The magnum opus of your life is not the same as any other, and that is what gives it much of its beauty. It is a living, breathing, feeling work of art that is a distinctive and irreplaceable expression of wonder and joy.

As you feel the amazing reality of yourself, always remember that you transcend every label that could ever be placed on you. Though there are many ways you have been, there are myriad other ways that you can yet be.

You are not old or young, not wealthy or poor, not healthy or ill, for those are all merely outward states that you may choose to experience. In fact, you are life itself, and every experience adds to the value and richness.

Just as the darker areas of a painting and the lighter areas play off each other, so too do the varieties of your experience all add to the magnum opus of your life. With each new day, the magnum opus becomes more magnificent.

In this moment, work your art well, letting it flow from your authentic heart. Give your spirit cause to soar, and forever capture the unique beauty of now within the magnum opus that is your life.

I'm Sorry, Im Not Perfect!!!

This is a confession... to ask pardon, for not being perfect like you. I know I should be perfect and I know you think I don't try hard enough to be like you. It's just that I know I can't reach your standards of perfection.

What? You never said you were perfect?? OH... I know... but you didn't have to say you were perfect. I know you think you are because you believe everything you say and do is right and I know that because in my imperfections, I disagree with you- but you never give in- you stand behind yourself. Even when I'm hurt and crying, you never waiver... never an excuse. That reeks of your self-pride in your perfection.

I could follow you around and do exactly what you do in just your precise manner, but I know I would still fall far from your perfection... I'm not you and it is obvious I can't do anything right for you. So I think I will stand back, watch you do everything perfectly ... that's what you will tell people happened anyway. I will just stand back here... watch you do things the way you want to do them... and I will throw in a meager apology from time to time just because you don't deserve to put up with me and my short comings. I will however strive to be my best. I want to be the best me that I can be and I've realized... I was perfectly made to be imperfect... and your perfection is a hindrance to my imperfection.

Yeah.. I think I will move on now. Gotta go... I have lots of mistakes to make and many regrets coming my way... you wouldn't know about those things... So I won’t stick around to bore you with them. I don’t want to miss them though. I might see you when I pass your way, my dirty, wrong self passing by... Maybe you can wave at me from your perfect little bubble while you sit there being perfect... and I'm out ENJOYING LIFE AND MAKING BAD CHOICES... SEE YA!!!!!
