To make or not to make – that is the question:
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous portion
Or to take up arms against a sea of gobbles,
And, by opposing, end them.
Oh Shakespeare, please forgive me.
‘Tis this time of year again. And the question in many
minds is whether or not to make a New Year’s Resolution. The biggest argument I
hear against it that people know that they will not be sticking to it anyway,
so why bother making them in the first place.
Well, that’s one way of looking at it. It is always easy
to live up to no expectation at all. If you have not set yourself a goal, you
cannot fail at it. And who wants to be a failure ……
I have a favorite quote from one of the most remarkable
men who ever lived, Michelangelo. He said “The greater danger for most of us
lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim
too low, and achieving our mark.”
With the New Year approaching, I’ll leave you to ponder
the question of where you want to set your aim.
