Dear ME,
This is year 2017 and I am writing to you from the past. One more new year has begun. As you know well, I am not the kind who makes resolutions and stuff so this is just to confirm that as of 2017, I still haven’t changed. However this year I thought I should write more to you. I have not (rather never) been doing this though you and me both know that we do talk to each other quite often!
So let me start this year with a plan (mind you – NO PROMISE, NO RESOLUTIONS) of making sure I write to you at least once or twice a month with the hope that with that frequency, you will be able to observe the constant changes that are taking place in me – my thoughts, my so-called-principles, my idea of life and everything in between.
So as I stare ahead on the fourth day of the new year, here are few of the things I am anticipating that I will try accomplishing this year
Explore more - This year I would try and explore life, people and events more than I have ever done before. One big change in the vicinity is a change in my career. April 14th would be the chosen date when I would plunge from my 20 years of corporate career and venture into the world of education. I am aware that I would need to explore and change a part of me – the part that is introvert and feels uncomfortable in unfamiliar surroundings. This “Plunge” would be one such aid to make me the explorer that I want to be.
Experiment more – This year I would try and experiment more specially on my varied latent passions. I want to play more music, write more (maybe the epic full blown novel that’s waiting to be written), read more and lastly try more!
Tolerate more – This year I would try and accept people and event as they are without any judgements! I want to tolerate more imperfections, more irrationalities and more differing views than ever before. I want to let go any inclination to deny or refute any opinions or events. (Not that I was doing that too much before but let me try to be conscious about it this year
AND LASTLY
Live more - This year, I would want to pause and enjoy moments much more than ever before. I would want to plan less and let life take its own course for me to explore. I would try to breathe more, exercise more and enjoy more!
So as I wind down this post of mine, I am hoping that YOU (as you read this letter of mine) acknowledge that some of these things that I plan to do this year is what made you the HAPPY ME that I want to be!
Best Regards
Me
