on the new year

i've never been good at new year's resolutions. most of the time they involve working on my fitness more often or cutting back on a certain sweet. most of the time my resolutions involve me. and that's all fine and dandy because of course it's good to be concerned about your own health and happiness, but i think i'm gonna try something new this year. this year, my resolutions are going to be about others: praying for others, spending more time with others, sharing my blessings for others, giving of my time for others. i haven't exactly figured out what these specific things are, but i'm excited to discover them.

because i think that this world has a giant problem of selfishness. it's what causes so many of the other problems we have. and i came to this revelation while talking with some guy that i sat next to on the plane back to san diego. who would have thought random strangers can inspire such revelatory thoughts? okay, so the problem of selfishness may not come as news to you, but it is giving me a better understanding of how i can make a difference in this world. be selfless. in EVERYTHING.

so there's my overarching new year's resolution for all to see: be selfless.

i'm so ready for this year. bring on the new.

oh, p.s. one of my resolutions is to blog more often. :)
