I did not make any New Year’s resolutions, mostly because I don’t believe in them. I don’t believe in an arbitrary timeline for change.
It’s like people who say, “I’m going to start my new diet on Monday”, or “I’m going to quit smoking at the first of the month”. I say, why wait. What’s wrong with right now? I think the setting of these deadlines is an excuse for procrastination, and I abhor excuses. Excuses are useless.
And the need for procrastination, as it relates to self improvement is really just fear. And fear is the enemy. All negative emotions are forms of fear. Hate, bigotry and jealousy are just forms of fear. The problem with fear is that to some degree, everyone experiences it. The key is to overcome it, and those that are best at facing and overcoming their fears are the most successful people in the world.
And I’m not just talking about financial success, I’m talking about any measure of success you choose....
Wow, that turned into much more of a rant than I intended. Sorry. Moving on…..
