A new year is upon us, and it’s time to decide who I want to be for the next 365 days. It’s not like I’m trying on different masks, different personae to adopt. I feel that last year I slowly came into focus, and now it’s time to sharpen my lens and get rid of my blurry edges. I know what I want out of myself, so why wait to bring it forward?
As a mortal human being, I am aware that I have a limited number of days left on this earth. I have now grasped how finite this window of action is, and how quickly it’s shrinking. My immediate actions will set the tone for my later years, and it is my intention to increase joy and diminish pain and regret.
In a world that’s numb with consumption, I intend to push back with creation. I want to remind myself every day that everything that I do is part of a process, and the goal is to look back and find evidence of consistency. It is of very little importance whether I am good or not at the things I try. Showing up every single day is the only thing that matters. Success will inevitably follow.
