“Man’s partial good resolutions that always succumb to ingrained habit are like the cleaning, scrubbing and adorning that we practice on Sundays and feast days. We always get dirty again, to be sure, but such a partial cleaning process has the advantage of upholding the principle of cleanliness.”
--Goethe
Hellllur there! Bon- Jor- No to twenty-10.
It's 4 days into this new year of the new decade and I'm already exhausted. Phew! I've thought and thought and thought about what it is that I need to resolve to do in this new year, of the new decade. You know...setting goals and what have you. And to be honest--I've had my fill of reading blogs and seeing television segments on morning shows that have "guru's" of motivation who are giving all of their "tips." My head actually hurts with all the blah, blah, blah from them. I really am EXHAUSTED.
And then it happened! Voila...I stumble on to a blog to find this quote and I think the sky opened up on this typical Seattle, rainy and dreary first Monday of the year. The above quote, which has lead me to FINALLY lock in on what it is I aim to do--succumb to my ingrained habits. You heard me. I figure...why not get ahead of my sub-conscience and beat it to the punch! I'll end up achieving just what my ingrained habits allow me to achieve.
That's all.
