Be Uncool: 2010 New Year’s Resolutions
I’m hesitant to share resolutions. First, it seems like it’s very un-hip to have them. To be cool, you’re either supposed to be above this sort of thing (I set resolutions every week, not just once a year, you loser) or resolutions are pointless (you have a deep, existential understanding that man’s plight–your plight–is really a bullet train to hell and there’s nothing you can really do to stop it).
Still, I’ve been told that if you share your resolutions, you have a better chance of keeping them. Official self-reflection every year can’t be that bad, right? What did you accomplish last year? Are you better or worse? Happier or sadder? More fulfilled or more empty? read more…
Here’s a lesson from my grandfather that I’m trying hard to believe: you’re here for a reason. You have purpose that you may not understand.
This password idea comes from a friend of mine. I hope she doesn’t mind that I’m sharing this with everyone. You know, partially taking credit for someone else’s genius. Of course she could have stolen it from someone else as well. You never know. Anyway, it’s not my idea, but I think it’s fantastic.
This was literal in his case. In his case, it was his heart. It didn’t work. It continually sabotaged the rest of his body. It killed him more than once.
