Sadly, I’m sure a lot
of you have already stumbled on some of those wonderful goals, but who cares
right? It’s that Buddhist way: “Let that shit go.”
Have a beer, eat that
donut, only peruse the New York Post headlines, and cancel that membership to
the local Planet Fitness. (Why waste that $15 pm?)
In the long run you won’t
feel frustrated by your lack of discipline and you’ll savor that IPA or relish
that Boston Cream as its filling plops onto your tight t-shirt as you watch the
movie version of that novel you thought you’d like to read…hopefully it’s on
Netflix so you won’t even have to bother leaving the house.
Throw out that bathroom
scale. Order pizza in. Don’t even attempt to tax yourself by watching the news
or in the case of this NY Giants fan, any of the NFL playoffs. Watch incessant
F-Troop reruns instead.
Get the dog to walk
themselves. Have the liquor store deliver needed libations. Close the blinds and don’t leave the house and
please, don’t surf the internet for deals on beautiful destinations because you
don’t want to travel.
WTF?
Ugh.
If there’s just one
resolution or goal for you during this new year it should be to explore your
world, if not the world. Where are you? How did you get here? How DO you get
there? Learn, explore, and along the way be kind and be happy with wherever you
alight this year, because, well, because it’s a Buddhist way.
IT’S NOT WHAT YOU WEIGH…
