Flip's New Year's Resolution

I can’t remember the last time I made a New Year's resolution. I used to do this when I was younger but I grew tired of writing a new one every year and breaking them over and over again. But I guess this time I want to stick with it. I realized that I’m more focus now with my goals and I hope to achieve all of them.
Planning is good, but if you can’t execute them well, what’s the point right? So’ I’m going to kick myself every morning and remind myself about the following things:
Read and finish one book at least once a month.
I’m not really into novels and other fiction books, although I enjoyed reading some of them. I’m more inclined in reading inspiring and exciting real life adventures and business books (boring!). Yeah, I’m a person of great contradictions.
Let Go Bad Memories
I know this is an old cliché but most of us find it really hard to forget things. And as we spend our time sulking or remembering the bad memories that happened to our lives, it’s like wasting those precious times that could have been used for more productive or fun activities. Acceptance is the key and affirmation that ‘tomorrow will be a better day’ might help you and Flip achieve this
I had a very nice chat with my closest friend and she shared that we should top off bad memories with good ones. So, we’re going to retrace places or situations that gave us a not-so-good-experience and will cover them with happy moments.
Bye Bye Medicority
Flip’s been a good boy and an achiever in his own little way. But he realized that he could still push his limits further to achieve bigger things for himself and for his family. As what Steve Jobs have said in one of his speeches, “Do not settle for anything else. And struggle every time you wake up to find your passion.”
Luckily for Flip, he knows what he loves, and Flip loves to travel. He’ll work harder to be able to put himself back on the road.
Health is Wealth
Flip’s been very bad when it comes to staying fit and healthy. He smokes a lot and drinks a lot. Flip does not exercise as well and he often sleeps late. 2010 will be ‘the’ year of a new healthy lifestyle for Flip.
Hmmm, I have a feeling that this will be the first resolution that Flip would break.
Show me the Money
Flip hates money and the idea of money, maybe because he doesn’t have any. LOL! However, Flip knows that the reality is, we need money to survive in this material world. Flip started blogging and hopefully earn from it and in the future Flip would also like to venture into investments.
Flip will also cut down on some expenses like overpriced coffee, phone bills, and other unnecessary stuff. He'll try to avoid the malls especially during a big sale.

Nurture True and Lasting Relationships
Flip has a lot of friends from everywhere. But Flip knows that he only has a handful of real, true friends and he had forsaken them in a way. Flip will work in improving his relationships with all of them including his family.
True friends are indeed hard to find, Flip has been blessed with some and he’s really grateful.
And lastly,
Travel More
Do I still need to elaborate on this one? hehehe
Ten days from now the world will be celebrating as we all enter 2010. The New Year brings new hopes, new dreams and new challenges. Flip wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas and an exciting New Year!!!

These are all good resolutions, especially health and friendships.
I don't believe in making resolutions just because it's the New Year so I endeavour to make them on the go (and try to keep them) all year long.
