I have spent entirely too much time in my life waiting for something. I feel like I'm always saying, "I'll start eating healthier on Monday" or "Once the new year rolls around, I resolve to (insert goal here)" or "When this semester ends, I'll start reading for fun again." I have spent a lot of time waiting for the moment to be right and the circumstances to be perfect.
I didn't make any resolutions with the new year. I started to think...what if I just do the things I know I NEED to do to be a better person? What if I decide each and every day to resolve to be the best I can be? Why do I need to wait until Monday, or next month, or when the semester ends, or once we move, or after vacation? Why not now?
I guess this new philosophy is essentially a resolution. It is a resolution to live life for today...to put my best foot forward each and every day. Will I fall short? Yes. We all do. But, starting TODAY, I am certainly going to try.
