Life Resolution

Happy New Year!!!

The big question everyone is asking right now is what your New Year's Resolution is. New Year's Resolutions to me are stupid. I rather come to a resolve of something I need to do all the time despite what time of year it is. I just think waiting is over rated and we need to do what we want and dream..NOW!!!!

As I had this thought a question popped into my head.

What lasting impression are you going to have on the world once you're gone?

Living our lives just for us isn't fulfilling and doesn't help anyone so I feel it's essential to leave my mark on the world and be greatly remembered. I asked myself this question and if I died today there wouldn't be much there. Just a bunch of ideas I had but to this point haven't completed. That question made me decide that I have to be more than the "average" person.

That's when I found an e-book called "How To Be Remarkable" by Colin Wright and a light bulb went on over my head (imaginary of course). I need to get a move on in living my life.

The book is a collection of tips, suggestions, and articles about "remarkable" people.

Tips like Kill Limitations, Seek Knowledge, and You First are just a few to help one become remarkable. When you read things like this it really makes you "Think" as much as I hate to say it (since of course thinking is essential to living so we are always thinking.. duh). We all "Think" all the time but in the course of Living you get in sort of a rut and sweep improvement under a rug. "How to Be Remarkable" gets self improvement from under the rug and puts it on the coffee table of our brains next to the remote control of our lives and provokes you to simply.. do something REMARKABLE.

So this year instead of picking a New Year's resolution I think I'll pick a LIFE resolution and that is to be the most REMARKABLE person I can be. I'll start by using this book and go from there. So I ask you.. what's your life resolution?
