Resolutions were fundamentally created to be unobtainable...or at least that's what some people believe. A new and greater year is upon us, and I intend on living this one just like the last one. For the first time, ever actually, I lived a year where I accomplished much, if not all, that I had set out to do at the onset. I became a latin dancer. I made a long-term commitment to an extremely worthwhile charity in my community. And I challenged myself at work by taking on a second responsibility for an interim period of time.
With an ever slight hint of conceit, I am rather proud of myself for sticking to my goals, and in a similar vein, I shall outline my annual intentions for 2014:
- Post a blog entry a minimum of 5 times per month. Quantifying a goal gives it legs to walk or run. Writing gives me an outlet to express myself in a way that I often have difficulty doing otherwise. Reflecting is necessary to growing spiritually.
- Grow in my relationship with Lizard. Specifically, engage in activities that are new and exciting to facilitate a better understanding of each other. Communicate daily about our thoughts, feelings, and needs.
- Get more active and healthy. Yes, I would be remiss to forego the quintessential New Year's resolution. In my past, I have been a dancer, a runner, a triathlete, and I know I can be all of those again. I will dance at least once each week, swim at least once each week, and run 12-15 miles each week. And just for Lizard, I will diligently work on my vegetable absorption.
- Work on my impatience with stupid people. Truly, this one might just be the absolute most difficult for me this year. I am quick-tempered more than I am quick-witted, sad to say, and I could learn from the patience of others around me.
