Finally..here come the resolution

Though in 2007, i can say that i have been an acheiver accomplishing much of what i was set out to do which more or less became a way of life to me, i was skeptical about publishing a new resolution this year. It is not like the calender year is a always a useful time-frame for measuring accomplishments and setting goals but for me, it quite puts things into perspective sometimes, and brings me back to where i am heading and where i want to be going and in what form i want to go.



If there is anything to notice from the change in tone since the last post last january, it would be the loss of optimism. Can that be true, me in my prime year is no longer optimistic? Why and how can that be?



Last year, things were begining...now i'm in the middle. I do not quite see the end, or the step after the end. I know it doesn't just end there, every step is a new begining. But i have been burdened by the insecurity brought to me with uncertainty. One day, i looked at uncertainty like it was my promises of possibilities. Now, i look for anything that confronts my fears that i will not be lost cluless in this global world. That i will not be stepped on and washed away by the stronger waves.



But you know? I am determined to look out for optimism and hope. I have every reason to do so. Young and educated, opportunities are what i can create. Life is what i love. Knowledge is what i aspire. And love is what i fall into.





I want to know more, i want to travel everywhere, i want to talk to people from everywhere. I want to be happy and enjoy every moment. I want to work with passion. I want to help. I want to be there for the people i love. I want to not fear regret, i want to let go and do my best to let it be.



My Resolution!!!

This is not a promise to self, this is a dialogue of intention...a step to look out and see..see what might just happen? Maybe everything will turn around, we'll have to wait and see. And while waiting, all life will be happening!
