One of the things that most of us do on a new year is set specific goals, be it in the form of resolutions or plans. We set our destinations and day after day, our driving skills are determined: we either drive too slow that we don't see reaching our Point B in time, or we drive fast that we need a Point C or D.
This year, that I dubbed as #Travel2014 and #Fitness2014 (quite self-explanatory), I want to prove something to myself. By the travel, I want to test my ability to save money and plan successfully. By fitness, I aim to attract (as if hahaha) or just make other people feel something new about me. If I were skeptic, I'd think two goals are too much at a time. However, I am ambitious. I like living a big life. It's not that I'm climbing social ladders or I'm being materialistic. I'm trying to live life as if there's no tomorrow. Like I said in a post, I usually do things as though they are smaller units of a bigger surprise. This way, I still manage to enjoy without holding up too much. The end point will be just as satisfying.
#Fitness2014
I wanna run. I wanna hike. I wanna frisbee. I wanna gym. I wanna lose my baby tummy fats! I wanna swim, I wanna skate, I wanna punch, I wanna climb. A checklist should be appropriate for this one, shouldn't it be? I just wanna stay in shape or gain mass or muscle preferably both. I just hate that heavy feeling you get every waking morning just because you lack some stretching and exercise. Life is so short, the food we eat are so unhealthy. I need to find a way to balance them all in my system, and fitness is the only (cheapest) way I know.
#Travel2014
In me is a wanderlust, the kind that moves across borders. Yes, it sounds expensive but heck! I need to mobilize for my sanity's sake. Hearing the stories ends, seeing the stories starts. My heart is pulling my will to one specific goal, the Trans-Mongolian. Every little detail must not be missed. Turning the night into day might work for this goal and I hope to carry it out (please, Father). Call it a dream because it is. But this dream is one I'll surely see wide awake.
#Easy2014
Key to most goals is planning. Planning is essential: failing to plan is planning to fail. How do you do this, or that? How do you manage your time?
Somewhere, I read that keeping it low and easy is another key. When you don't stress yourself too much about it, things will naturally take its flow to the direction you want. If you push too much, it will spill to other destinations that are not meant for it. Not only does it waste your resources, it will also ruin your cool to put too much stress. Stress will be good as a reminder, but leave it at that. If you got faith and works, everything will follow.
So that's it. No resolutions this year. I think most of the resolutions that I kept on posting for the past years have already been addressed if not fully, somehow. This year, I want to enjoy much of life as I can. I'm aging, and I want to stay focused while doing more. Because when I do more, I win the game, and winning the game is just as important as the way you played to win it.
Keep the good vibes rolling! Be blessed by His word.
