The short movie clip
is from the 2012 Movie,
NEW YEAR’S EVE.          .          .
(WOW–Already 10 years old)

It, appropriately asks us to
P          A          U          S          E
and reflect on all of the
GOOD and BAD
from the past
present
future
NOW
we might not have to go any further than
this-brand-spanking-new-year-of 2022
but.       .       .

What’s   the

W          O          R          S          T

thing  that’s  ever  happened  to  you  that  ended  up  being  the  absolute

B            E            S            T

thing  that  has  ever  happened  to  you?

We  should  all  have  required  knee  replacements  for  all  of  the

KNEE   JERK   REACTIONS

we participate in

with every single event that takes place in our lives on a day-to-day basis!

I’ve never met anyone,

especially myself

who hasn’t thought that when it’s

O        V         E        R

GOOD

or

BAD,

IT     IS     OVER

But there is no real

O        V        E        R

No real beginnings

No real endings

just  this

C        O         N          T        I         N         U        I        N        G

that’s   seen   it   all   before.        .        .

Good?

Bad?

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.             .             .

m        a         y        b        e .           .           .

and that only gets answered by

A  Brand  New  Year

and not how it defines you.      .       .

but how you will

DOES THAT NOT SUM UP THE LAST TWENTY-ONE  MONTHS.     .     .     ?
A          D          V          I          C          E
?
It has been years since
I’ve had resolutions
or even hard set goals.          .            .

Pssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst   of   the   y e a r s :
NO RESOLUTIONS
NO GOALS
NO SET TASKS
NO CHECK LISTS.          .          .

Just spend a few minutes
O               F               T               E             N
going over your purposes
meanings
reasons

FOR BEING HERE
N                        O                        W

in           25        words
or

And  in the mean time
even as the new year

begins tick-tockking away
it’s nice to look back ahead and

What You Do

How many times have you been asked?

How many times have you asked it of yourself?

How many times have you actually answered it?

How many times have you dared to

L     I     V     E

 I     T   ?

If money were truly NO object.      .      .

What would you do?

Are you Living the life of your dreams

or the life that just feeds a bank account,

a pension, a 401K account,

a mortgage payment,

a water/gas/electric/cable bill,

a   s t o m a c h ?

Do you even believe it?

Doing what you truly love

means that the money will actually follow.       .       .

How many people do you know,

r i g h t  n o w ,

at this moment,

that are actually  l    i    v    i    n    g

the   life   of   their   dreams?

Are   you?

What ultimately keeps you back,

fear of failing,

fear of success,

fear of going bankruptcy,

fear of embarrassment

that others might heap upon you?

If money were no object.       .       .

If failure wasn’t in fact an option.        .        .

Would you.       .       .

would you live the life of your dreams?

What?

How do you know what

T         H         A         T

actually is?

It’s been theorized

that the graduates of 2016

will not have five jobs.     .     .

they will have

S       I       X

C  A  R  E  E  R  S

Psssssssssssssst:

IT   IS   MOST   OFTEN   MORE   THAN   ONE   THING !

Don’t ever subtract your very self to just

A     P  u  r  p  o  s  e
A     M  e  a  n  i  n  g
A     R  e  a  s  o  n
A     D  e  s  t  i  n  y

You   are

P    L    U    R    A    L

not Singular.      .      .

You are NOT just a Success or a Failure.        .        .

You are a succession

of   both

and so many other things

in between those two poles.      .      .

You will never be inspired

to be a Musician

if you are a true Painter,

an Accountant

if you are a Mechanic,

a Teacher

if you are a Rocket Scientist.       .       .

You are    P     L     U     R     A     L

never    Singular; 

Go ahead PICK ONE       .       .

even if it means turning the page.     .     .

or Beginning a new Chapter.     .     .

Starting a new Book.     .     .

or completely shredding it

and writing a new one

with some-not-so-blank

p a p e r

and an inkless  pen.       .       .

It’s   Y O U !

And you.        .         .

You are always worth betting on;

If you can bet,

go    all    in    on    y o u r s e l f.         .          .
