January 1, 2012 resolution
This year, I resolve to listen to others: before I judge, or assume; to learn from their experiences; to understand and empathize. It will mean to be humble and to put others before myself. It will require some courage, as I confront my assumptions and hold back on quick judgements. But, it does not mean I am completely controlled or influenced by what other people think is right– it will simply be an exercise of respect and love for me. It will teach me to be patient, kind, and learn to exercise discernment. This way, I resolve to make my friendships more real, my relationship with B more meaningful and loving, and to work on maintaining a healthy relationship with my parents. There is much I need to learn from others.
A quote that my second grade teacher posted on her facebook status:
The greatest joy….Giving
The most satisfying work….Helping others
The greatest “shot in the arm”….Encouragement
The most effective sleeping pill….Peace of mind
The most powerful force in life….Love
The most power filled words….”I can”
The greatest asset….Faith
The most beautiful attire….A smile
The most prized possession….Integrity
The most powerful channel of communication….Prayer
The most contagious spirit….Enthusiasm
To my readers: may 2012 be full of love, laughter, and good memories to learn from and cherish. Happy new year!
