The New Year is Here, But What About Last Year?

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Stop talking and start doing!

Here we are in 2010. It’s really amazing how fast time flies.

I find it sorta funny how everyone initially sees it as a new beginning. "It’s a chance to start fresh!"… why? It’s just another day. Nothing has happened but some numbers changing. Why do people think that will be enough to bring success or enthusiasm strong enough to do better this year?

It’s no wonder every New Year’s resolution disappears almost immediately after the first week is gone by.

Some may see this as me being negative or the glass is half empty. Hell no, it’s an absolute fact.

I’ll tell you what, I did not do nearly as much as I wanted to do in 2009. I suppose I could treat it like a credit card and transfer the balance to a new one (the 2010 card) and keep spending like time ain’t running out.

I just met up with… some friends on Facebook I have not seen in 20+ years, it really put time into perspective for me. I can’t believe I am already 40. It feels like I woke up and 20 years went by in a minute.

As awesome as it is to get back in touch with them I had a very vivid realization of waking up and being 60… wondering what the hell happened to 20 years.

Screw it being a ‘new year’, it’s one less year for me to do shit. We are on a stopwatch and that thing can run out at any time. I don’t feel I have really lived so I sure the hell am not ready to be wheeled around in a diaper.

If a new year resolution seems a little weak to you too… imagine never accomplishing all the things you keep putting off. Realize how much you can do in the next 365 days if you really dig deep.
