New Years Resolutions Are Shit Along With Your Attitude.
It's the time of year where the gyms are packed with fatties and smokers, the grocery store is out of tofu, garden burgers, and everything else that tastes shitty, sales for anyone selling a product with 'Diet' in the name are spiking, and Billy Blanks is out on a Caribbean cruise with the guy who invented the Bo-Flex and Tony Little.
Everyone has a new found desire to do something with their lives. Everyone is motivated because it's a new year and suddenly the past 40 years of complete worthlessness pale in comparison to the first week. People have motivation to get shit done, but it doesn't last for long.
While I plan to examine this further, the only thing I can do right now is look deeper into myself for the reasons I do not, in any way, participate in these lofty resolutions.
I always am aware that I can improve myself. I don't wait for January 1 to start these improvements, I work on them right away. For the past 1.5 years it's been working great. I constantly look for better ways of thinking, better lifestyles, better habits, just anything that I can learn from to do what I currently do, but do it better.
I come across as an arrogant and full-of-himself ass 90% of the time, but in reality I am always learning from people around me. I take the best of every idea and melt them into my own. This is a constant activity - not a week long shit storm where I try to recover from 52 weeks of digressing into a Neanderthal.
So, although I appear to be confident and high on my horse - I really am humble and willing to learn and accept things that are done better by other people. If you haven't seen this side of me, well, it's because I don't have anything to learn from you. Sorry!
If we all try to improve ourselves each day, we can make a huge impact. On your life, on the people that are in your life, on the new people you meet each day. Don't be intimidated by anyone - imitate them. Don't get upset - understand. Don't try to instigate - try to inspire.
This doesn't mean you have to be all rainbows and birthday clowns all day long. Shit, I'm an asshole. But I'm not saying that I'm perfect either. None of us are, but as long as we are reaching for something better then we're making the effort, and that doesn't go unnoticed.
