No promises, no resolutions, no demands. A year of moving with the flow of water. Like the Tai Chi Master with slow and measured movements. I will take each step with purpose, knowledge, and confindence. Little steps, baby steps...stepping on flat stones of a path that has been destined by fate, not by me.
I spent all day New Year's Eve trying to demand of myself a year where I could be the person I think I admire. But the funny thing is, that type of admiration is almost unattainable. It's so far up, that there are only a few people in the whole globe who could reach that height, and they probably don't know they even do.
I pined on all the aspects of life and all it did was make me depressed. (Too much thinking does that to me.) And so, I decided that I just was not going to demand anything from myself. No moments off all those things that I "am going" to do. I either will "be doing" it, or I "won't." Live in the present, not the past or the future.
There is one exception to this. I am going to buy a house this year. I've already got my pre-aproval, an agent, and now it's time to do the hard part...the house hunting. I'm scared. But if I can get a house for the same thing that I currently pay in rent. Why wouldn't I take advantage of the situation and reinvest my own money instead of tossing my rent money into the empty void of capitalism.
