2011 is here with us.I started it quite well i should say.At least i was with some of my close pals so that made it special and oh yes I was also bitten by the resolution bug and I have mine.My theme for last year was this too shall pass and indeed it worked for me.This year I'm all about building foundations.Foundations for my life,as a person.This year is when I sort of want to lay down a plan for my life and the first things on my list are my talents.To work on them and build an establishment for them hence I shall be writing more because writing is one of the things I do best.And no.not writing so that I may bee applauded-that is the wrong motivation to do anything.Writing because I know this is one of the ways I can make my contribution to the world.Doing it with an aim of improving someone's life somehow.So,this year,we are taking writing very seriously and my cards business also needs to come out of being a pastime activity and have my full activity.
Let me talk a bit about commitment.When was the last time you committed yourself to anything?You see,being committed means doing something even when it feels too tiring or boring.It is seeing something to the end regardless of the challenges.When you are committed to something,you do not quit.You keep doing it until you get it done.Why do people fail in exams?It's not because they are not sharp,far from it.It is largely because they are not committed to their school work.They handle it as per how they feel on a specific day.Why are our relationships not lasting six months?Well,we are not committed to them.We take them casually.When tough times come,we run or hide because there is a lack of commitment.Why do we have affairs happening left,right and center?A lack of commitment to our partners.Yes you love him but of you are not committed to him,when that other man starts giving you more attention you find yourself drifting.When you are not committed you are somewhat loose,for lack of a better word.You just go with the flow because you are not grounded.When you commit yourself to something or someone,you give it your best shot.You know its importance and not for a minute do you undermine it.
So,I have decided I am going to commit myself to my talents,my work school and relationships.In my writing,I will draft something daily even when it does not seem to make sense.I will still write.When it comes to the cards,I will make designs even though when I look at them I wouldn't buy them to save myself,I will still do it.At work,I will look for all the resources I can land my hands on to learn more about what I am doing to improve myself.In my relationships,I will invest my time.I will find out about my friends and how they are doing.I will cultivate the relationships.I think for the first say three months of 2011,COMMITMENT is what I will be practicing and learning and make sure it becomes a part of me.that whatever I do,I shall be committed to it.Let everyone who meets me this year have one thing to say about me,'She is committed to whatever she does.'
I know not what your resolutions for the year are.Just make sure they are SMART.Specific,Manageable(i think)Attainable,Realistic,Time bound.Correct me if I am wrong.And,I realized,you don't have to wait for a new year for you to make adjustments in your life.You make the adjustments the moment you realize something you are doing is not helping you be the best you can be.You work on it then.
It is a beautiful Sunday morning.I need to get ready for church.P/s:I will also work on learning more about technology.I am a bit blonde when it comes to that.lol.Have yourself an awesome day and may you live each day as if it was your last.May you give of yourself to the things you love and may love and joy and peace be your stalkers for the rest of the year,or until I get something different to wish you.
Take care.
