Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

As far as resolutions, I’ve never really believed in people’s abilities to suddenly change the behaviors that have been a part of themselves for most of their lives.
For the most part, we are what we are.
However, I do believe that we can change our attitudes, our perceptions of the world and ourselves. And that is where the life-altering changes occur.
At least that’s my belief.
When I was younger, I thought I needed to leave a scar on this world to let it know that I was here. I saw myself as a large, sharp-edged piece of rock ready to bludgeon the world into submission. But as time passes I see myself as a much smaller, smoother stone that simply lets the world simply flow over, creating the barest ripple on the surface.
Perception.
My resolution is to end this year 2010 with a different, more positive view of this world than the one with which I am starting. If I can do that, I will have done more positive things for myself and others. If I have to effect the world, let it be in a positive fashion. In the grand scheme of things, what more can I ask?
Happy New Year…
