 Philosophy of New Year's Day

Though I relish staying as present as possible,
Not seeking to surrender to the past or the future;
Yet, there are certain moments of my life
That calls for an assessment, of taking stock.
This is the philosophy of New Year's Day…

Looking back at my success, as well as my failures;
Making adjustments in the process of my life.
Seeking not to repeat my mistakes or short comings;
Searching for the roots of my sweet victories.
Planning out 2011, with caution and precision;
Painstakingly laying out my future footsteps.
Identifying my weaknesses, earmarking my habits;
Being honest with myself, being totally honest.
Looking into the new year with hope, with anticipation;
With an eagerness to fulfill my personal destiny.

Present moment awareness is suspended for now;
Opening up the heart to everything surrounding me.
I absorb the wisdom gained from this insight;
With a sense of adventure I walk into this new year.
This is the philosophy of New Year's Day…
