The alternative New Years Resolution

We are nearing the end of the 2015. Amidst the free flow of drinks and fireworks will be the thousands of New Years resolutions that will never come to fruition.

I met up with a good friend last week. He asked me what my 5 year plan was. I told him I did not have one. Did not give the reason and was not asked.

The words- If you fail to plan, you plan to fail passed over his lips.

I said nothing. I have a plan, but have learnt that life happens when we make plans. Life throws a curve ball once in a while. Health scares are never planned or even a New Years resolution.

I adapted my New Years resolutions 11 years ago to become daily solutions instead of yearly resolutions. I keep an eye on the future. I deal with each day as it happens to find the sunrise and sunset.

As long as I keep moving forward.....

No Forbes list, halved or doubled, can bring the happiness that good friends bring to your life :-)

We travelled, met people, experienced new places, shared ideas, encouraged people to better situations, find solutions to their challenges etc. What the hell happened? Why is it that when I look at the news, newspaper, speak to people at social gatherings to find  time and time again that I get hit by the wall : diversity is all of a sudden the new adversity! The best way I could express myself was simple: I travel often. A great number of times I am able to learn the  basics of the language of the country I travel to. I mean basic. What I have come to realise, is that if I take language away and speak from my heart and use gestures, the ...
