New Year's Resolution - Is It Our Last?

               Happy New Year! It's 2012 now and from what people are saying, this will be our last year on Earth. If ever there was a year to really make your resolution count, this is it. Or is it? If we're all going to die in December, what's the point of doing anything? Or should we take this opportunity to do all the things we really wanted to do before we die? That decision is up to you. I put this Mayan calendar bullshit in the same boat as Y2K and the Rapture. You know what I do with that boat? Nothing. I don't care about anything in it so why bother? The point I want to make is; whether you believe the hype or not, use this New Year to make a positive change in your life.

                I hear a lot of people saying that if you want to make a change in your life you shouldn't have to use the New Year to spark your motivation. You should just do it, no matter what the date is. Well, you know what I have to say about that?

               Get off your high horse and join the rest of the world down here on the ground. We've been using the New Year to make resolutions since I can remember remembering things. And sometimes people just need that event to light a fire under their ass and make a change. So don't act like you're better than everyone else. A resolution worth making should take some serious consideration. It should be something that really changes your life for the better. And if it's that serious it needs a starting point. Why not use the New Year?

                The only problem you need to worry about is your New Year's Resolution turning into the new treadmill you bought last year. You know what I mean. It's nice and shiny when you first get it, it works out great for a couple weeks, then it gets covered with laundry and never used again. So I'll revisit this in February to keep you on track. Here is a little saying I use when it's appropriate and that time is now.

              "Anything worth doing is worth doing right." I can't remember where I first heard that. Maybe I came up with it? Either way, it makes sense. Take the resolution you made a couple days ago, write it down, post it up somewhere and make it happen. Whether it's as small as working out once a week, or as big as changing your career to something you love. If you want to do it, do it right! And make sure you see it all the way through. You're going to hate the feeling you have if you waste another year NOT doing what you said you were going to. Trust me. Especially if it's going to be your last. One of my smaller resolutions for 2012 is to show a little compassion when I get a Hand-job for a Ham Sandwich from the bums behind the Taco Bell. I'll start by throwing in a bag of chips. Happy New Year!
