So here we are. We have made it another year. I have never been a resolutions type of guy… most of the time no one sticks to them anyway. Some may set a goal and achieve it, and good for them. But in my case, it’s usually the spirits willing, but the flesh is weak. A perpetual coming up short, but there’s only one to blame… me.

So many dreams and wants in life. Not to sound conceited, vain, or narcissistic, but I feel like I have been given gifts, just to squander them or take them for granted. I know the problem, and I know the solution. Just can’t figure out what stops me. Mainly me, that’s what stops me.

No resolutions, reflections. No resolutions, solutions. That’s the name of the game. Sure, I’ve gone through trauma and been led astray, but need to even make that a goal. Fix what’s broken, and be better in ALL aspects. Everyone should do this, but I can only speak for myself. Will this year be different? Plan on it, but even if I fall flat, just have to keep going.

They say goals are dreams with deadlines. But is there a deadline? I really think so. But others have told me that isn’t the case. In reality it is something that can be used as an excuse. Something to use to self sabotage. It’s never too late to be better, to at least try your dreams. Will you fail? Maybe. But so what?

So no new year, new me. It’s the same old me, the same old you. Goals, dreams, and the want to just be a better all around Human being is what we should strive for, no matter the day, month, or year. So here’s to all the humans, imperfect as we are. May we all have a good and prosperous one.

“Believe in yourself, and the rest will fall into place. Have faith in your own abilities, work hard, and there is nothing you cannot accomplish.” ~ Brad Henry

Current Listen – Kendrick Lamar “Now or Never”

Look at the newer me, fate pursuing me
I can feel the energy in the air
It feel like I’m supposed to here
