My partner and I were sitting in a restaurant in Rome on December 31 with 2 of his friends, and he made everyone go around to talk about his or her resolutions for the upcoming year. When my turn came, I admitted that I hadn’t really thought about my resolutions for the year. I told him later that I lived most of my life meeting deadlines and goals (usually met…a few by seeking extensions, like when I was half-way through my dissertation writing when my dissertation clock’s alarm was about to go off), and I didn’t want to live with deadlines or goals anymore.
Now, I realize, it makes me sound like a total slacker. However, what new resolutions would I actually need to list that I haven’t listed in New Year’s Eves past? I think I could boil all those resolutions into these few, simple bullet points:
Have a great 2010, everyone!
Now, I realize, it makes me sound like a total slacker. However, what new resolutions would I actually need to list that I haven’t listed in New Year’s Eves past? I think I could boil all those resolutions into these few, simple bullet points:
- Be a good person.
- Don’t take yourself so seriously.
- Exercise and eat right, but save room for the occasional scoop of ice cream or slice of cheesecake.
- Love big.
- Clear the clutter.
- Save some money.
- Be happy with what you have.
- Be happy with who you are.
- Be thankful.
- Be kind to others.
Have a great 2010, everyone!
