People that make new years resolutions have always gotten on my nerves. I might be one of those annoying people this year, something got me thinking yesterday.
I was reading the Total Jim’s updated profile last night and a sentence on there struck me: "The thing that I call living is just being satisfied with knowing I’ve got no one left to blame..."
I woke up today and started thinking about the meaning behind those words. It’s very common for us to blame others and justify our dysfunctional behavior because someone has held us back or treated us badly. The blame list can be endless; parents, friends, classmates, doctors, governments, partner, pets, the climate, the bank, etc. Anyway, my new years resolution is to get rid of all blame and become the person I was meant to be. It might sound cliché, but the truth is it’s what I want. Why let someone that pisses you off live in your head rent free? Also, why let someone that tries to hold you back affect your decisions in life?
Imagine if we could hold up a state of mind which the Buddha acquired; how different our waking up in the mornings would be. Yeah, I want to be like the Buddha and start living.
