My Reminder for the New Year
I’m not much for new year’s resolutions, I motivate/obsess about things just about year round, to begin with. But, a fresh year does warrant a bit of reflection and remembrance/dedication to ones self.
Its so easy to get caught up in our surroundings, our jobs, our families, what we think is important, what we want to do, what we want to be. This year, I want to be more mindful of the unstoppable flow of life. Its human to think we control our destinies. Maybe we do ultimately have some granular control on some minute aspect of our destiny, but relatively speaking, how much do we actually control?
Some people spend their entire lives fighting their ever flowing rivers of destiny, in 2012, I want to remind myself every day to go where my life takes me, for better or worse. If life is one giant collection of events and memories, I want to remind myself to be present in them.
Wei Wu Wei, Act Without Action.
