As we say goodbye to the year 2011 I’ve been thinking a great deal about my hopes and aspirations for the year 2012.

My aim for this year, put simply, is to be committed in everything I do. The past few years I’ve been pretty scattered, jumping from one project or idea to the next. But truth be told I feel I haven’t left everything on the table.

While exploring my various interests was certainly rewarding, I feel it’s time to put my head down and really get to work.

Bottom line is I want 2012 to be the year of results.

Fitness

My fitness level has been in steep decline since I stopped running cross country in high school. And for the past few years I’ve tolerated the slippage, but enough is enough. It’s time I give my body the respect it deserves.

Relationships

I haven’t been the greatest with staying in touch with those closest to me, which is something I intend to put a lot of effort into in the up coming year.

I believe strongly that your family and friends are everything.

Writing

I haven’t been the most consistent writer in the world. However I know the solution is as simple as: to ship.

I fully intend to deepen my writing by consistently showing up.

In my commitment to sharpen my writing I will be writing at least 1000 words every day in the year 2012 apocalypse pending of course.

Reading

Several years ago, I used to read a book a week. Lately it’s been about a book a month. I’m committed to making the time to do one of the activities I love most.

Have Fun

I am fully committed to making 2012 one of most enjoyable and rewarding years of my life. I hope you join me.

What’s going to change for you in 2012? I would love to hear.

Happy New Years.

Blame other people for your own shortcomings.
Make promises then break them.
Sacrifice integrity for convenience.
Treat your body poorly.
Wait for tomorrow.
Let fear win.
Play victim.
Chase comfort.

If you find yourself selling out on a regular basis don’t be surprised if life chooses to do the same.
