Restyle Your Resolution
(Photo Compliments of Eddie Vasquez)
From the day you are born, you generate your beginning into existence within the human race. You then proceed to journey into lively hood and establish your story and means for existence, that which, essentially situates the ending of your continuation to exist within the world, ultimately, beyond your control.
As one year closes, and another year opens, those of us who survived 2011, are blessed with an opportunity to live 2012. And those of us who were not as fortunate to outlive 2011, set a precedence... left legacies, stories, memories, thoughts, lessons, and most of all, love for the rest of us to build upon in 2012. So, with the possibilities of opportunity 2012 has to offer, have you thought about what you are going to endeavor this year?
While you are not in control of the impacts that will crush or escalate you in 2012, you are however, in control of the happiness or sadness that will overcome you regardless of what travels your way. And you, choose where to administer your life throughout the year beyond those impacts. Will you choose to bid farewell to the impacts that changed your life in 2011 in order to establish an open mind to the opportunistic potential 2012 may offer? Or, will you be able to allow yourself to acquire knowledge to become more proficient in your own abilities you have to offer 2012 beyond the understanding 2011 has left you without?
Society is morally ambiguous and the orbit will continue to dance on with or without you whether you like it to or not. Its just a matter of figuring a way to dance with it despite its uncertainty. Will you gracefully sway with the exquisiteness our race will present or will you stumble on the disenchantment mankind may bestow upon you. One wrong stride and you could be stepping on someones foot.. tripping over yourself... or over someone else in that fact. But one right, beautiful stride and it could be one of thee most magical moments... a moment that would be marked for all time... a moment that you and the world will commend and remember as uncharted and undiscovered accomplishments for all to seek.
From 2011 to 2012, what stride is going to be yours? What are you willing to leave behind in 2011? What are you prepared to take with you into 2012? What did you discover in 2011, and what mistakes are you going to allow yourself to repeat or stagger upon in 2012? Who will you leave behind in 2011? And, who will you surround yourself with in 2012? What are you willing to risk in 2012 to permit it to supersede 2011? And most of all, what are you purposefully intended to accomplish in 2012 that you were blessed with the destiny to be able to escape 2011 and participate in 2012? How are you going to restyle the resolution to your life?
2011. Well, lets just say it was definitely a year that I will never forget. For me it was a year in which emotions and decisions were intertwined between my perception and reality. It was a year full of good moments and bad ones. It was a year full of many life-altering events that taught me many valuable lessons that will be used moving forward into 2012. It’s been 17 days since New Year’s resolutions were made, and for many they’re just as much a memory as 2011. In order for me, or anyone to maintain momentum with change I think we should consider taking every experience of 2011 into 2012. Resolutions shouldn’t start when the clock strikes midnight on New Years Eve. They should start when you recognize a need for change within yourself. Last year was definitely a year that I lost touch on who I was and what I wanted. So, my resolution for 2012 is to better myself as a man, because I believe that in this day and age, a lot of us have lost touch on exactly what that means. To me it’s about defining your core values and improving all aspects of these values. It’s having the ability to consciously express your masculinity without being cold or closed-hearted on one hand, or wimpy and emasculated on the other. It’s about making real decisions, respecting the power of choice, and taking responsibility for your actions. It’s about growing from mistakes more than growing from success. It’s about taking control of your life and putting 110% effort into everything you endeavor. I can go on and on, but the point that I am trying to make is this, If you loose yourself, you will loose everyone in the process. Focus on yourself to better your relationships in the future. Target your weakness rather than improving on your strengths. Forgive and forget to those who deserve it and close the door on those who don’t, but always leave the door open for those who want to experience 2012 with you.

My goal is to help others in the new year 2012. There are many less fortunate that I. I have embraced public service and found that I can make a difference in the life of others by listening to their story and taking action.
