Time to look forward

"It’s time –
Let go of the past
Hold on to the present
And build the future

For our past may determine who we are, but not what we can become." J.C.

What better way to start off the new year by becoming an active blogger again? Maybe I can revive the blogging spirit amongst my friends, but I somehow doubt it =P. People often make New Year's Resolutions and they can range from just one to perhaps even dozens of them. I can see that with a New Year people have a desire to try to change something about themselves, but why wait until a new year approaches to instill change in your life? Every day is a new day, so there really is no need to wait =)

One of the most popular New Year's resolutions is 'to lose weight/exercise more'. I know because when I go to Hart House in January it's a LOT more busy than it usually is during the rest of the year. Bad habits are hard to change, and I guess it depends on what your priorities are.

Here are a list of my resolutions (but not necessarily for New Year's):
Read more (though I've already been reading more these past few years)
Exercise more (I've been pretty good, although last semester was terrible... recruitment dinners and residency events just sucked up all my time)
Develop my talents (take up drawing again, dance classes, etc)
Become more educated (about politics, sports, etc)
Get my G2 >_<
Improve my Cantonese/Mandarin (I even bought a book at Pacific Mall today =))

What are some (New Year's) resolutions you have?

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVERYONE! I wish you all the best in all aspects of life!

I promise I'll blog about something more interesting next time.
