New Year’s Resolutions; what works for me

I do not know about you, but New Year’s Resolutions have never worked for me. I gave up the mounting pressure of making them, and the monumental pressure of keeping them years ago.

Instead, I wake up everyday with a checklist. I guess I can call it “Everyday Resolve.” I have been following my checklist so long, that now it is just habit. A very good habit.

Here it is in all of its simplicity:

• Help someone
• Learn something
• Be thankful for five things
• Tell the truth: be honest when it is not the easiest way out, (this pertains to honesty with myself and with others)
• Treat others how I wish to be treated

At the end of each day, before I sleep, I take a little inventory of my resolve, and drift off peacefully.

This is the first post of my new blog. I hope you will follow and join in the conversation

Thank you for reading,
