Welcome 2006!
It’s New Year’s Eve and I am all alone. Not that I’m complaining. In fact, I find genuine happiness and placidity in my solitude. This is the perfect time for me to outline my resolutions for 2006.
As I look back, I realize that a lot of changes have taken place in my life in 2005. I took a big leap which didn’t really turn out the way I wanted. I encountered a lot of frustrations, heartaches and angsts along the way.
As such, here are my resolutions for 2006:
1. Tonight, I am ostracizing "them" away. "Them" being the ghosts of my past —the hurts that I’ve experienced and the frustrations that I’ve had.
2. I shall never look back on the decision I have made. I must stop desiring the things that I previously had that do not have now. Looking back has only led me to frustrations and eventual dissatisfaction. Hence, this too have to be expulsed.
3. I shall never lose sight of my goals. I must not forget the reason why I am here and should re-orient my actions towards the fulfillment of my goals.
To sum up my resolutions, I choose to borrow a line from my college roommate: "I refuse to be defeated by human weakness!"
