For the past few years around this time I write about how much I disagree with New Years Resolutions. How we build unrealistic standards for ourselves and how we line ourselves up for disappointment when reality strikes.
Well Brian is nothing if not fickle. So go and rock those resolutions out! Become a millionaire, become Vegan, go on that diet, take that overseas trip, ask her to marry you and any other unreasonable goal that seems within reach.
Or you can try a different approach with less sarcasm, one of my own ideas. Some credit goes to Brian for keeping me awake until 01:00 in the morning to ponder such philosophical things. I call it New Years Reservations.
Instead of making a list of things you want to do or habits you want to kick (because that also takes a lot of active effort) write a list of things you want to do less. Don’t stop drinking right away just drink less, want to make more money? Start by spending less money on take out and Play station games. Want to loose weight? Then eat healthier, drink less sugar in your coffee.
By now you should start seeing the pattern. Since I am going to be a father soon I firmly believe in the baby steps theory. If you take small steps you will spare your sanity some grief. Brian is becoming the brain of a father so he needs to do some chilling out and baby steps are never a bad thing. It is closely linked to the “everything in moderation theory”.
So from me, Brian and the WITBANK NEWS have a great two more weeks before 2016 rolls around with a whole new batch of highs and lows.
