It's in Our Hands

It's a new year! After all the endless christmas parties and reunions, its now time to go back to our usual routine. It sucks. I know. But its a new year and it's already 2009. Even if it still feels the same, its nice to set a goal for yourself this year of the ox. I know it sounds cliche putting up New Year's resolution but, hey, at least it's something that can be productive. People are talking about how New Year's resolutions are bound to be harmful to our mental health and, thus, be destroyed. I think it's still up to us whether we should stick to our goals or not whether its a new year or not. It's just a matter of choice. Right?

Anyway, my New Year's resolution is that I'm gonna take some time to take care of my body by going to the gym. For a twentysomething guy wanting to go to the gym is pretty predictable. But I already signed up early this year with my friends back in college. I think its much better if you have your friends around you than going to the gym alone. Don't you think?

When everything is said and done, all you have to do is just accept the truth and move on. Starting all over again from scratch is hardwork and sometimes it requires you to sacrifice a lot. But when the push comes to shove, sometimes the best thing to do is to learn the art of acceptance first to be able to move forward. This new year......I choose to live happier.
