This is my first entry for 2010. Yes, the dawn of a new year and the beginning of beginnings. I don't want to touch on new year's resolution and what not because that's old news! I've been hearing about this resolution thing since all the fuss and hype about new year came to my ears.
New year is a mixture of commotion and peace. A feeling of calm and anxiety. Why you may ask? Well consider the new batch of standard one. This is going to be their new day at school and with them they bring along their loving mums and dads creating a massive crawl in front of school. The mums and dads looking anxiously through the windows. The standard oners looking tearful and happy and sad all at the same time.
New year also brings additional digits to your age. The shift from teens to 20's, from 20's to 30's, from 30's to ehem..ehem..Ever looked back and wondered what we've done? What we've completed?
Yup, I did not make any resolution at all. How's that! I just reflected and reflected and reflected...The choices that was laid in front of me, the junctions that I've reached and the milestones that i've encountered and no I am not that old..
Why no resolutions? Well, I believe that if you want to change for the good and do good deeds it must be right there and then and not to wait for new year to come around. That's what my religion taught me and it is by far the most logical thing to do. Why wait because you wouldn't know what tomorrow brings. We will always face this day by day, the choices between right and wrong, good and bad...Why wait for the new year to plan? It might already be too late. Life is not about logic. It will throw you everything and I really mean everything. How we react to it or how we prepare for it is for us to choose.
"How do we know what is right and what is bad?" you may ask. This again taught by my religion that what is good will always bring the heart to a calm state and makes it at peace. How do we know it? Well it is not about knowing but more of a feeling thing. Each and everyone of us have felt it at different times and different locations. Some of us may notice it and some of us may have let it passed unnoticed.
This new year with the upward trend in the age digit, made me think, why am I here? Why me from the millions of spermatozoa and I was the one that made it? What are the chances of this happening? Am I destined just to study, work, marry and die? Am I just destined to earn my pay and buy all the goods that I want?
I believe that there is more to that and let me begin by making good decisions every second of the day, strive to understand the new knowledge that I encounter, be aware of every feeling that passes through me, ensuring that every single action that I take is out of my conscious mind and every decision is based on the knowledge that I have...
That's what I believe. What about you guys out there?
