Today is the Day | 2011

"Today is the day that I will do ..."


For the more lazy crowd, it starts with "This year is the year ...", but honestly, these resolutions, do they ever resolve anything? 


From what I have observed (from personal experience), these change-for-the-better thoughts that we have happen instantaneously. They also happen to fade in the same way. Which is why I am going to experiment. I have often told myself to do this instead of that or to eat this instead of that. But the problem is, I don't really follow through. It happens for a few days, sometimes weeks and then it fades away. I find this is because I do not see a goal in sight, or if there is a goal, it is rather vague. 


All the things I have intended to do is for the sake of my family. I would like to live long enough to see Jakjak through the years and have a grandchild (or two). I would like to provide my family with enough wealth to live content and still be able to share with the needy. I would like to own a McLaren F1 (hey, it's the only supercar I know that has 3 seats) and bring them on a road trip. I would like to do so many things. But sometimes you have to accept the fact, that people age. Jakjak is all grown up now going to school and I am getting wrinkles and white hair. 

So the experiment goes like this. For whatever goal I have, be it big or small, it goes in here. On the blog. I would like to see the results. As tangible as possible. Because I believe that if we do this (see the results), we would find encouragement to continue, or even do better. First up on my list ... is anger management (sigh, I can almost see myself failing this miserably).
