Resolutions
Seriously? Resolutions? I'm the last person who should be talking about this. But yet I am. I for one, am much inclined to lose my focus on my goals, to just forget about what I'd set out to achieve and procrastinate and find an easy way out.
Its 4 days into the new year, yet everything feels so 2009-ish. Sure, some things have changed. Meeting new people, new friends, reconnecting with old ones. Life is sucha cycle sometimes, we find that everything we know somehow comes full circle so that we have to deal with certain things. Hence that sense of deja vu, of things happening before. But does our resolve in our approach change? Or do we give in to our weaknesses? Give in to the less painful option...
I find failure exceptionally refreshing, in that it is a test of our resolve, to have the world against us, just you, your wits, yourself, and God, to face all the trials that come your way. So what if you fail? I believe it is the process that makes it so worthwhile.
Failure is part of the journey, never the end of it. The journey ends when you accept failure to be the final destination. Thus, you can see that failure is self-induced. In truth, how often do we really fail? Many a times, it is something we could have avoided. Be it a moral dilemma or whatever else, it comes back again to our resolve to stick to our beliefs, to our course of action. To act for what is right.
So... resolutions... What are my resolutions for this year? I won't make any brilliantly insane promises, crazy fancies or whatsoever but instead, I'll just say that in whatever I do, I won't give up. Cos you only truly surrender when you're dead and God calls time on your life. If he hasn't called you back to his sanctuary, then why should you do it for yourself?
Nursing a tremendously painful neck now, the pain is unbearable. Sheesh, seeing so many students go to school makes me feel nostalgic and sad.
