New years come year after year. Most of us makes new year resolutions optimistically year after year and year . Most of the new year resolutions are hardly honoured that’s a different stor. So past few years I made sure I dont make any new year resolutions.
This year its going to be bit different. I am going to have a host of New year resolutions but instead of having to wait till new year , I gonna start some of it right now ! 10 days for New year and I can take a stock on the New year if i can maintain the resolutions in the new year to come !
Instead of calling it by Resolutions , Let me call it as New Year Wish List 2009 !
So here are my New Year Wish List 2009 :
1. Health is not valued till sickness comes :
Am a lazy bump ! Its a fact . So I wish I could do a bit good to myself by a moderate physical fitness programme. 2008 I had enrolled myself for a month long basic yoga course . I would like to see myself workout an one hour yoga session in the morning , 6 days a week . Also , having a park very close to my office , would like to see myself do a 30 minute brisk walk 5 days a week atleast !
2. Early to bed , Early to rise :
If I have to do yoga in the moring , I need to start my day early. Simple . Being used to be an owl so far , it needs a bit of tampering with my biological clock ! But impossible is nothing right ? So I need to sleep early to kick myself out of bed early ! So I wish to maintain a sleep cycle of 10 p.m - 5:30 a.m !
3. Water is the only drink for a wise man :
Says , Henry David Thoreau . Well if water consumption is the yardstick of being wise , Damn it ! I should be a fool ! I survive with less water . Something in me says , I better start drinking more ! Am talking about pure H2O . I would like to see myself gulping down atleast 8 cups of water a day .
4. Anger blows out the lamp of the mind :
Anger management . Something that I need to really work on . Well am not that kind who picks up fight or being nasty with everyone . Still , there are moments i heats up with dear ones. Though I tend to cool down very soon and forget the whole episode. Still I realize that my anger leaves a trail of sadness even if its forgotten later. So I need to work on my anger . Have restraint . Be calm. After all , ” Anger , if not restrained , is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it ”
5. A goal is a dream with a deadline :
Last two years have been really hard on me in some fronts cause i chose to tread a different path in my profession. I dreamt of it , I worked on it , still miles to go on that front. I have a goal , I want to set 2009 as a deadline to realise the fruits of my dream. After all , “Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true” isn’t it ?!
6. It pays to plan ahead :
It sure does and I have some homework to be done in this front in financial aspects. The best start to change is to accept your drawback .I need to take a leaf out of Ant’s book. Start saving for the rainy day. Start a financial investment plan and religiously start saving and plan for future.
7. You become a writer because you need to become a writer – nothing else :
Let me substitute the word writer with blogger. So i became a blogger because i need to become a blogger – nothign else . So I am a blogger now . I wish to see my blog in 2009 hosted with my own unique domain name and as a stand alone site. I have zeroed in on a domain name . Wish to see it online soon. I wish to write a lot . Refine my writing style.
8. To understand your parents love , you must raise children yourself :
Last but not the least of the wish list , I would like to be a father in 2009 and see the motherly glow in my wife !!!!
Okay ! So these are my new year wish lists ! So let’s see how I steer through 2009 with my wish list bag !
Happy New Year in Advance ! May all your dreams come true and those dreams bring happiness to your dear ones and loved ones !!!
