that resolution thing

It is the new year, but if you're looking for some guidance on how to stick with resolutions you've made, you'll be disappointed here.

I don't do resolutions.

I think it's a very clever way to instill yet another layer of guilt on the collective conscience of our culture, this constant I'm-not-good-enough-the-way-I-am mentality that we buy in to.

Sure, some of us could certainly benefit from those lofty goals we might set for ourselves at this time of year.

But have you noticed how futile those efforts usually are?

We're given a false imperativehave NGE shoved down our throats, but nary a clue as to how to be successful at achieving them.

And those lists of superficial tip/tweaks here and there don't count as guidance either.

The only effective control panel we have that I've been able to harness in my 47 years is our thoughts and our feelings.

When you get the hang of that, everything is within your reach.

Cuz it's no reach at that point.

It's a given.

If you're interested, I've got a "No, thanks. I'm OK the way I am" t-shirt with your name on it.
