Next Year.
I know, many of you don’t believe in New Year’s resolutions because quite frankly, whom we want to be and envision to be should be sought everyday with our greatest efforts in place — not only during the birth of a new year.
But sometimes, we need the excitement, hype, and motivation of the underlying meaning of “New Years = New start” to restore our mind set in the right path.
Next year, I want to see this happen in my life:
- spend more time with my brother
- tell my mom that I love her at least once (I don’t even remember when the last time was)
- say louder “thank yous” instead of just “mm.” when my parents do things for me
- get rid of this potty mouth!!
- give my grandma a hug and tell her that I love her.
- spend more time with God. (I fall asleep in the midst of my prayers… is that bad?)None of it has to do with career or business and the reason why they’re not up in the list is because knowing my competitive nature, I don’t have to worry about career or business ever fighting to be on top of my priority list. They will always have a time in my day where I will devote my full efforts to it. (Anyway, I have enough reminders in the day to tell me that I have to keep chasing this idea of “success” to live a “happy” life. School does that pretty well.)
It’s the people that put up with my attitude, that love me unconditionally that I always forget about. Always so easy to mistreat. Always so easy to close the door on. Always so easy to throw tantrums and curse at. And the worse part is — I always get away with it.
I have all my life to make money. But people aren’t always gonna be around.
So I better get started on this realization…
