The first month of 2012 is almost over. One of the trending topics this morning on Twitter is “Page 30 of 366.” Just two more days and were about to say ‘one down, eleven more to go in 2012.’
What have we accomplished so far in our checklist of the New Year’s resolutions? What more do we expect? And what changes do you think you want to do for the next eleven months?
Harold Merchart once said, “Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point.”
It is indeed true that people always want to move forward but we should not settle for mediocrity and all the good and bad things that come along the way should be viewed from different angles for they are the ones who kept reminding us that we should not be contented and leave us always wanting more in life in terms of ambitions and personal goals.
The second to the last day of the month can be a good time for us to internalize. Tomorrow’s going to be the last day of January; do we see ourselves standing in the same position 10 or 11 months from now?
Maybe a lot of us are thinking about change. But what the future has to offer us is always something difficult to predict. What is the word ‘change’ means to us anyways if everything in the world is constantly changing?
It is that gentle feeling that something better waiting for us in the future that keeps our hopes high that a change in our ideals, beliefs, career and preferences is worth taking the risk.
We really don’t know what’s in it for us in the future. Value your relationships. Show love to everyone. Be patient. Take other people’s advices with care and stop pretending that our decisions don’t affect other’s feelings because it will always will.
It’s always a matter of choices. We have to weigh each and everything.
Tomorrow will be ‘Page 31 of 366’; Better think twice because unlike books and magazines, our time on earth are not pages that we simply turn back whenever we want to alter failures and decisions we thought before are the best for us.
