New Year's Revolutions

A few weeks ago I found and watched Coach Jim Valvano's speech at the ESPY Awards in 1993. I'd never seen it before. Kind of like "The Final Lecture" only shorter so those of us with "Wikipedia as History Lesson" attention spans could finish and remember it.

Three things you must do every day. You must laugh. You must cry. You must think. I'll find things to laugh and cry about. No problem.

It is the thinking that will take conscious effort. It hurts sometimes. I'm not used to it.

So one of my New Years Revolutions is to think every day. Spend some time in serious thought. Travel down a single path for a while.

New Years Revolutions? Yes. Resolutions don't seem to hold real well. Maybe if I decide how I want to revolutionize my life I'll keep a better vision of where I want to be and stick with it. Yes, diet and exercise are on there somewhere. Again.
