The New Year’s New Resolve
The progress I make seems so tiny that it seems harsh some times to be checking in but I also feel a commitment to what, approached more gently than a score card, remains a good scheme.
I wrote down what it is I want to achieve in the coming year and in many ways they were affirmations of what I have written before.
But there is a little more definition in some areas, while others remain flabby or indistinct or otherwise slightly abandoned.
But I am beginning this year with a renewed sense of determination and a desire to reaffirm my commitment to achieving my goals in life. I am aware of the need for patience with myself that I haven’t made huge steps and there haven’t been any giant leaps. But I am still on the road.
