Happy New Year, my friends!
As self improvement goes, New Year's Resolutions are the greatest time for change. As a culture there’s a lot of talk about resolutions because they can be a clean start, allowing us to make better use of our time and energy in the coming year. To kick off this wonderful clean slate, below I've listed the Flip Flop Philosophy Top 11 Resolutions of 2011.
11. Lose Weight/Bulk Up- Battle the bulge or beef it up. Just feel better about being you, now.
10. Better Job- Get that promotion or get out of Dodge, Chrysler or General Motors.
9. Save Money- Build up that nest egg.
8. Reduce/Eliminate Debt- It's hard to feel at peace when the bill collectors call during meditation. Get you debt under control.
7. Break the habit- Cut out the addictions be it tobacco, alcohol, caffeine or PCP
6. Learn Something New- Knowledge is personal power. Take an opportunity to grow.
5. Enjoy Life More- We work to live, not live to work. Work less, have more fun.
4. Stress Less- In the immortal words of Bobby McFerrin, "Don't Worry, Be Happy.".
3. Get Organized- Simplicity is the best philosophy. Get rid of the excess and continue from there
2. Volunteer- Giving your time is the most precious gift to give because it's limited.
The #1 resolution of 2011 is... (Drum roll)
1. Leave a Legacy- Our impacts on others will eventually be the story of our lives. Make sure that in every action you are authoring the best story possible
*** I want to thank a great friend of mine, Andy Buth, for teaching me the importance of leaving a legacy. He lived his life pursuing his dreams. He overcame all obstacles to be where he wanted in life, and it took him to the most remote places on Earth. Unfortunately, Andy died a few months ago but what remains are his loved ones and the legacy he left behind. "Live Fully". God rest him and look over his family. ***
