New Year, New Vision

Nope, I'm not going to do it!  I'm not posting that dreaded "NEW YEAR, NEW ME" post.  Dreaded by whom? Me.

Yep, seriously.  Every year I do it.  I write my latest brainchild...and then fail to implement. Sometimes I fail with such pizazz that I never even follow UP on the post, let alone implement any of the resolutions I swore to during those euphoric "new year, new chance" moments.

This year, I'm doing something different.

Let's not get crazy...I'm still setting a resolution, but I'm doing something even bigger, too.  I'm creating a new vision.


Yep, that's right.  A NEW VISION.



"For what?" you ask.

"FOR EVERYTHING!!" I answer.



My resolution this year is a simple enough one, though I've caught myself slipping up daily.  It's only the 10th day of the year, though, so I have 355 more chances to get it right. ;)  This year, my resolution is to stop saying everything that comes to my mind. Just stop.  Instead, I will bite my tongue. (Unless, of course, it needs to be said....in which case, I still firmly believe in the power of a voice).


My vision, on the other hand, encompasses much greater things on a wider spectrum.

My vision is not contained to a one year time frame. My vision does not have 2014 tunnel vision.

My vision is simple, yet complex.

My vision is mine and mine alone, but will require the support of others along the way.

My vision is to become the very best version of me possible.

BOOM!

That's it!

Simple enough, right?

HA!

If so simple, then why is it a continuous pursuit for people around the globe??

Because WE AS HUMANS MAKE EVERYTHING DIFFICULT!! I swear it's embedded in the genetic make up of human beings.  Dogs don't make things difficult.  Cats, well...I'm too allergic to them to get close enough to find out if they make things difficult or not. My fish is certainly a simple creature. Birds just fly, eat, chirp, and sing. Monkeys just eat bananas, take naps, and swing from trees. But humans???  We are a WHOLE 'nother story.

We take simple things and make them difficult...ON PURPOSE!

So this year, and every year thereafter, I plan to fully implement my vision of JUST BEING ME. The best version of me I can each day.  Some days that won't be a very fun version of me, because some days I won't have the ability to be fun. And that's okay.  Some days that won't be a very practical version of me, because some days my common sense takes a hiatus. And that's okay. Some days that won't be a very grounded me, because some days my head is in the clouds.  And that's okay!!!

But every day, I am going to wake up with the full intention of doing good, being well, and spreading positivity.  Period.

It really is THAT SIMPLE!!!
