Its the 3rd of January, 2010 and everything feels pretty much the same to me except that am cashless and have this insane migraine! I say, this to me feels no different from 2009 for me, except that, for the first time in a long time, I actually made some New Year's resolutions.
I spent the 'festive season' without so much as a feast and in hindsight, for me, it really wasn't a 'festive season' although I got to see my friends and gatecrashed a couple of parties. In the end, I did have that party after all, although, it was actually a farewell party for a close friend who's leaving the country this weekend. My friends and I decided to host a 'dutch party' for him on New Year's eve. It was fantastic (I think) and my friends came... at the crack of 2010, a good friend pulled me close and asked me to reflect on 2009 and my list of so called friends, and in that moment, I had my aha moment that birthed my New Year's resolutions for 2010
- I will develop a spirit of gratitude - always. No matter how hard it is
- I will not be broke from today onwards - sometimes, I might be financially inconvenienced. BROKE is not a word I will USE to describe my financial position again!
- I will choose my friends very carefully but still maintain my faith in the pureness of the Human Spirit but will not tolerate or entertain 'friends' who bail out on me.
- I vow not to let the myopia of other individuals cause me pain. If my heart is not at peace with any relationship, I will END it. There's nothing like, he/she'll change, an arsehole will remain just that, an arse hole...
I once read something that Oprah Winfrey said about doubt, I can't recall the exact words but it was something like, 'If you doubt, don't'. Doubt means, Don't. Don't move. Don't speak.
In other words, Just Be. Give it time. Let it go etc
This year, I will be still and wait for that purpose that the universe has already bestowed unto me...
Piece of advice for 2010 - Be still. Listen, Speak Less...
Happy 2010
