adventurousBooya! It's a new year. New page. New beginning. Oooh yeah.
I know that this type of rebirth is possible every day. But somehow everything seems so fresh on the first day of the year. ..even though this day is arbitrarily chosen by our culture. Whatev...
..Anyhoo... I'm writing down my determinations. I might even try sharing some with the general public...even though that's not typically my style. It's so vulnerable..so personal...it really is the master plan for my universe...Someone very close and dear to me was once surprised that I had to give pause and thought before actually sharing with him some of my determinations. Since I shared almost everything else with him..he was genuinely surprised that I held back there. I guess the sharing of dreams is scary for me...what if you don't get it?..or think it's cool?...or worse case scenario...what if..you laugh at my dreams and tell me it's impossible?...anyhoo.. perhaps this is the year that I will risk it? ...and then again maybe not?...I don't want to write them (my determinations) with an inner censor...all the while thinking...that I will have to face public censure for what I write. So..I'll write them with the belief that I will not publish them on the internet...and then...maybe I will put a few on here...or not...(I guess I'm still a bit cowardly on this topic.)
Every year I write down 100 determinations for that year...things that I will work on and chant about consistently throughout the year. Within the year generally, I end up attaining at least 25 of them...but many of them are pretty awesome...so ..I'm ok with the 25, since I figure that there are loads of people who just float through life, never really taking the time to live consciously and daring to attempt to go after what they truly want. So if I only get 25 awesome and amazing things that I have wanted in my life...then I figure that's still pretty great. Since, if I didn't try at all I might luck out and get maybe 1 or 2 of these things.
Anyhoo... Determination time..duh du nuh nu du nu dunu ..Ya can't touch this! (Imagine MC Hammer's "You Can't Touch This")
