Red Shoes
“A child’s fear is a world whose dark corners are quite unknown to grownup people; it has its sky and its abysses, a sky without stars, abysses into which no light can ever penetrate.” - Julien Green

“You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.” -Jack London
..today I feel inspired. :D
One always hopes that the start of any new year will bring a new level of happiness and excitement than the previous ones. I was part of that group, after the rather disappointing turn of events in 2009 I’ve been in serious need of a boost.
2010..you’ve let me down.
If the year is to follow in the footsteps of the past three days, count me out. I’ll skip to 2011 and cross my fingers. Don’t get me wrong..I’m finding it challenging but satisfying that I’ve started my 365. I’ve fallen in love with yoga and I feel myself getting stronger each passing day.
The people of 2010 frustrate me to no end. All around me I see copycats and laziness. People can’t just be decent. People can’t seem to follow through with their word. I’ve always been pretty selective of the people that I choose to be around but even they are starting to falter. It seems that with each passing year, we lose just a little bit more of compassion, respect, humility and dignity. Instead we choose to fuel our fire with vanity and greed.
It’s incredibly frustrating. I would just like some people to live up to my expectations. I’m not perfect but I make a conscious effort each day to be better than I am. Is that so difficult? People need to stop being scared of a little work and pain. People need to grow.
2010 I need you to get with the program.
I’m starting a 365. I’m nervous but excited. Let me know what you think.
