I use the weight loss, best shape ever analogy only because it's the number one Resolution year after year. Is it because just maybe, there's the tiny ant size truth that we really never intended on giving up the ding dongs and midnight raiding of the fridge? Maybe we somewhere deep down are acutely aware that we are popping zippers and splitting britches because there could be the minute possibility it truly needs to happen? Truth is; are you ready for it? We just don't want to do it. Ta Da! It is really that in your face simple. We really weren't Resolute to begin with. I am not a deep, profound smarty but I get that resolute means clearly the following: determined;firm;bold. Uh oh...
So for all the nay sayers who don't wanna even attempt at Resolutions because they never work anyway, this is for you. Me included. Are you really where you want to be in ALL areas of your life? Are there NO goals or dreams you haven't yet accomplished or seen brought to life? Listen, I am proud for you and quite green with envy but I dare to bet you haven't unturned all the stones that lay before you. See, I believe in anything can happen. I believe that nothing is impossible. But wearing my aluminum foil sweatsuit and chasing cheetoes with milkshakes ain't no way gonna give me what I truly desire for my Summertime Soiree's . I want to encourage you to not shrink back and not even try. Sometimes it takes not only that determination and declaration it takes time. Maybe I will look somewhat better, (one can only hope) by the end of this calendar year, but; it may be well into the next year; however this much is true, I must do my part. I must put both oars in the water and paddle. We have All we need to accomplish our Dreams, Goals and Resolutions. We just need to use them. I will no more get to shore by catching rays with my eyes closed and laying down enjoying tunes while my oars lay in the bottom of the boat. I have to exert the energy I possess to steer my course. I must be Resolute, even if windy that I WILL make it back to shore even though I think my arms might fall off.
Bottom line, how bad do you want it? How far do you wanna go? You were created for a specific reason with the necessary ingredients to succeed. Take the time to take yourself on a date. Fall in love with you. Understand your limits than press further. Go beyond what is expected from you or anyone and surprise everyone! Then and only then will you start to see the results of your labor. I want to share a video a friend posted on Facebook, what I want to show is this person is determined, day after day, they were Resolute and I absolutely loved the result...
Go sharpen those pencils and clear the cobwebs from those Dreams and put them to life. Don't settle for a Good or even Great 2015, join me and go for the Off the Charts Mindblowing Year. While studying on what Auld Lang Syne meant I fell in love with this; While this song is being sung, It is common practice that everyone joins hands with the person next to them to form a great circle around the dance floor. At the beginning of the last verse, everyone crosses their arms across their breast, so that the right hand reaches out to the neighbour on the left and vice versa. When the tune ends, everyone rushes to the middle, while still holding hands. When the circle is re-established, everyone turns under the arms to end up facing outwards with hands still joined. I am Resolute that I will do just this one day and I cannot wait!
Now take those Resolutions and embrace them as you enjoy this only song that comes to Mind at this Special Time of year by the One and Only who is only getting better... Peace Out...
