I recently had some time to closely reflect on the changes i have made and the steps i have taken to somehow improve my life. Baby steps toward massive and towering goals. Diving into the shark infested waters of interpersonal relations. Relocating to save my sanity and attempt to in some way change my relationship with the world around me. The end of many things... The start of so many more.


 I am forced now to think of the year and the idea of resolve. We have a tradition of New Year Resolutions. Why do we need to wait until New Years Eve to decide to make changes for the better? Should we not be thinking always of self improvement? I wonder if we are setting ourselves up to fail if the only reason to set a goal is New Years Eve thoughts. So many of us resolve to fail it seems. We set unachievable goals for ourselves and feel like total losers when we are not capable of meeting them. Why not resolve to take many small steps, after all they are equal to massive bounds,just in more manageable packages. What would you like to change? Do you want to stop or start an activity? As i resolve to change the tiny things i do not like about my life i can look back and see just how dramatic some of those tiny steps became. What about you?
