So here we go! Another year…another decade. Another chance to start again. I love fresh starts. It reminds me of the first day of school when I had a new blue 3 ring binder filled to the max with crisp lined paper, new pencils with big orange erasers and a brand new box of crayons. I had such high hopes. The pages would be pristine, the erasers seldom used and I would draw such beautiful pictures with those 24 colors.
I suppose I haven’t wavered that much from those high hopes. Now I hope for a pristine bank account, an on track career line and a beautiful, organized home where I meditate daily after my exhilerating work out!!
Lets face it, life just doesn’t go in a straight line but the beauty of a new year is maybe we can at least get back on track.
What’s your vision for 2020? Do you want to try the usual; lose weight, get organized and save money. Those are the most common “resolutions” for the new year, but we know resolutions don’t really work. After 30 days they evaporate and we fall into our usual routines.
So I’m going to try something a little different this year. I’m going to try vision. Yes vision. Just using that word makes me feel a little lighter and hopeful. Vision. Maybe we focus on the detail too soon and never really gain sight of the big picture. The vision.
What do you want your life to look like? Who’s life do you admire? Your friend whose house is always in order? The brother who seems to have his financial ducks always in a row? The neighbor who is dedicated to their work outs rain or shine. The woman at work who never seems to get flustered or overwhelmed no matter the situation. What is it you would like to see in your life?
Come along with me and lets try some new ideas to create a new vision; a new way of looking at and executing our daily routines because after all, isn’t it the routines that make up the nitty gritty of our day to day. But first must come the vision.
So whats your vision? Leave a comment about what you would most like to feel in 2020. Peaceful, organized, healthy, content? Why not write about it? Put it on paper and really think about what it is you would like to see in your life. What would it look like if you could have your ideal right now.

Peace. I want to feel peace. I’m almost always in a constant state of anxiety, and when I’m not feeling anxious, I’m using anger to burn it away. I don’t know if I’ll find peace in my everyday life, but I’m working on myself. I love your Vision over Resolution.

Thank you Hannah! Peace is so important and it can be a struggle sometimes because it’s an “inside job.”

Nice take on the normal resolutions. My vision would be fearlessness, not being afraid of who you are and showing that to the outside world 🙂

Thank you Rick. I appreciate it. You know New Years resolutions don’t work for me so I decided to focus on vision and goals instead. Takes the pressure off in a lot of ways. Thanks for taking the time to read my little blog. I appreciate it.

Oh and I forgot to say….I’ve been picking a word of the year also and Fearless is the word I used this year. Good word. 🙂

You’re welcome! It does take the pressure off, because with a vision there’s no specific deadline on when to achieve it (contrary to resolutions). And I agree, fearless is the way to go 😀
