New Year's Resolutions Are Bad

I'm not a huge fan of the idea of making New Year's resolutions. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. So, rather than calling it a New Year's Resolution, I'm taking this idea and turning it into something that means something to me. With that being said, I'm going to make an active effort to take more pictures. And it doesn't matter what they are, because I'm going to shoot what I want to shoot. And if my camera isn't doing it for me, I'm going to paint more. And if painting isn't doing it for me, then I'll try my hand at making short films, or writing. Basically, I'm going to use my creativity better this year and not put so much damn pressure on myself to become this famous and well sought after photographer. It may come. It may not. Regardless, I'm going to make myself happy by doing what I want to do. One of my friends said the other day that this is the time of year that we get to start over again. In part, this is true. However, we don't need the new year to make that decision. We can do it at any time. So I say that if/when things are looking bleak, tiresome, overwhelming, etc, make the resolve to change it. Change your mental attitude, your physical attitude, change your life to make it what you want it to be. There's no limit to what we can achieve in our lives. We only limit ourselves. I do hope that all of my friends and family have a great year, decade, and life.
