Down the Rabbit Hole

Electronic Ink & Making Goals

"Blogging Circle of Friends "
DAY 2237 January 3, 2018
I read a comic strip cartoon about New Year's Diet Resolutions lasting 3 days and exercise ones lasting a week. My question to you is what the shortest and the longest resolution you've made. Did you see this as a failure or just another social norm? How do you think you can overcome the hurdles of resolution failure?

My answer is simple...don't make resolutions. The entire concept is doomed to failure because it feels like it comes from a purely emotional place. Instead, I make long term goals...with little pockets of mini-goals scattered along the way. This way I have a better chance of celebrating small victories rather than lamenting my big failures.

Prompt: "Every man should be born on the first of January. Start with a fresh page." Henry Ward Beecher What would your fresh page to say?

My fresh page would say..."fill as many days as you can with electronic ink"...in other words, write more. Writing is the one thing I always know I can go back to and as a result, I find I too often give it the back seat in my life. I need to stop doing that. I need to start taking the time to do what makes me, me. I am a writer and so I should do more of it. It has been a while since I put anything out to publish, so the sentence sentence of my fresh page would be..."put yourself out there more". I need that pressure to develop my skills and my discipline as a writer. You can grow and learn as much from every rejection as you can from every acceptance.
