I think about all of the failed resolutions I have had over the years and wonder why I even bother making them at all. Sure, the excitement and challenge lasts a few months and then, just as suddenly as I decided to make the changes, I find that my will and discipline have died.
Although a quiet death, it still makes an impact in my perception of my success. I quietly admit defeat and move on about the rest of the year. Yet, each year, I get better and better. I somehow, continue to make progress on my goals despite the lack of showy resolutions throughout the year.
This got me thinking about our continual emotional and intellectual growth as adults and how I can stand up right now and change everything about who I am. I could reinvent myself, become someone new, all the while, simply discovering the me I have always wanted to be.
I make no apologies for my lack of selflessness on this blog. If you want to read about how someone is changing the world, this isn't for you. I am not interested in solving world hunger, creating peace on Earth or educating the less privileged in a country I have never, and honestly have no desire to ever visit. Perhaps I'll take care of those things after I get my degree in "Me". Right here, right now I am focused on my interests, my health, my thoughts and my personal growth. Sheila, level 501. This is about me, only better.
