SHED THE OLD
It's that time of the year again, when everyone speaks of what they've gained from the year before and their new year's resolutions. I've got nothing against sharing learning points but there's a certain something about new year resolutions that eeks me more often than not.
New year resolutions are made at the beginning of the year, then usually end up found hidden under other books, scraps of paper, and post-it pads at the end of the year, accompanied by a suprised expression,"oh right.. i wrote that down!"
Now isn't that the most annoying part (:
True enough, new year resolutions are the first step to the path of happiness (so to speak. well maybe it's more like having a sense of gratification.) but what many people overlook are the subsequent steps beyond that first step. I believe that setting supporting goals and follow-through are things worth considering.. on that note, dreams will always be dreams unless you do something about it. Agreed?
2009 was an interesting year though. Out of the many things that i've gained and accomplished, i've learnt more about myself. Made mistakes (no doubt!), got hurt big time (deserving), but now I have a clear picture of the person i am, and what i want in life. If it doesnt fall in line with what's marked out, i will let it fall aside. One thing's for sure, i'm gonna make sure my kids grow up with the gospel and have parents with unwavering testimonies- because there isn't any other better way to bring up children than in a home parents care and lead the way, and children honour and obey = making home a part of heaven. (now doesn't that sound familiar!)
