Perhaps if I get my resolution list published a day early, and have a brief opportunity to prepare myself, the resolutions will last longer. One good thing about my resolutions this year is that they are positive statements that can be pursued continuously, even with lapses (rarther than negative “don’t” statements that are immediately gone when one fails).
I will keep myself sharp mentally, physically, and emotionally
I will strengthen my spiritual life and stay connected with others who share like interests in spiritual activities, both locally and globally
I will continue to value, strengthen, and enjoy my family ties. I will not take my spouse or others in the family for granted. I will seek times to share life and relish the special moments.
I will spend money on things that matter. I will value experiences and people more than things.
I will take time to review my life so that I can see it clearly and identify the things accomplished that made a difference
I will do the little things regularly that give me a sense of accomplishment, e.g. projects, exercise, reading and writing are among my favorites.
I will look for and continue to do what others cannot do or what others are unlikely to do, especially in areas of ministry and mission.
