So its that tme of the year again. The time of year when everyone promises to go to the gym more often, to lose those 8lbs, quit smoking, watch less TV and be more active, etc. etc... Unfortunately, by the end of January everyone will have forgotten about their New Year's Resolutions. Rather than face inevitable falures resulting from unkept promises, I plan on doing something a bit different this year. 

First, this year I plan on thinking positive. That's right- one of my New Year's Resolutions this year is to be a positive thinker, but not only in terms of my own life, but in terms of others as well. I figure that if I can think positively, and that positivity is expressed to others, maybe their lives will improve. If their lives improve, maybe that positivity will be reciprocated, and hence improve my own life.  You see it's all one big circle, not a triangle.

I really do hope this is not original. I hope its something that other's will try also.

I'm so sick of people being critical for its entertainment value. Pointing out the flaws of other's just because its fun is like teasing for adults. In a way we are really hypocritical when we tell children not to tease, only to turn to our colleagues and make fun of the way they smile, dance, talk, etc... "Adult teasing" really doesn't add anything to anyone's lives. It only adds to the aura of negativity that paints us "never good enough", and degrades the relationships we have. So, in addition to positive thinking, this year I'm going to try to surround myself with positive people and positive things.

Those are the two big New Year's Resolutions I have this year. We'll see how I did a year from now.
