The year has turned from an old man into a baby again.
We often think about this time and make New Years Resolutions.
But, I think I made mine (not that I make them, I don't believe in them.) some time in December. I had read the book the Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, and in the midst of reading it, I realized that I was causing myself a lot of unhappiness, over nothing. My life could be inherently positive, even in the worst circumstances, and I think I knew that a LONG time ago, maybe when I felt things were a bit easier, a bit better, when I was a bit younger, but dealing with difficult situations as a working adult is much different than learning to deal with negativity as someone who is a student, studying, or in academia. The problems of academia are big, but they don't always hurt as much as when you're a working person.
This year, I plan to try and embrace that positivity, and just keep it running throughout. I've spent a lot of time in Toronto, thinking a lot of negative thoughts about the city (most of which, are probably true) but I haven't helped myself find good things, things that made me feel good, happy, or safe until sometime this year. I feel like I'm starting to make better decisions overall. Hopefully, over time, things will continue to get better. I feel like there are a lot of really great things and great people in my life. Now it's just a question of upkeep, versus a question of how much finding the right things to put in my life. I've started to have a lot of a really cool things happen to me and for me lately,- and I'd like to just continue that trend as the year continues, and I think it will.
Just got to keep up the good vibe. ^_^
