Broken resolutions!!

Jump to Comments

If New Year is the time when most people come up with the idea of making resolutions, for me its after the exams… or even during the exams… Its like when the exams start and when I am expected to study, I would rather let my mind wander through the days coming ahead… the much awaited vacations… to do all that I can ever think of doing! Are there anybody else like me who get so carried away with all the ideas… and the list of things to do gets too long that you start jotting it down on the sides of your note book.. and your mother thinks you are seriously studing and even writing down the important points!? But then, anyways, I can proudly say that my past few vacations have been very fruitful… After my 10th grade Board exams, I learned or atleast started learning some instruments- guitar and piano (well learning is a long process and I learn slow so Im still in my A,B,C,Ds… )…After my 12th grade Borad exams, when my fellowmates were busy preparing for the Entrance exams, I was making my resolution come true… of learning to drive the car and the scooter and get my license right at the legally eligible age of 18yrs. After my first year in college doing Litearture and creative studies, I decided to explore my writing skills and wrote a few songs and even launched my own blog! After my second year in college, I fulfilled my approx. life- long dream of learning to swim!

But now, after my final year in college, I had the maximum number of resolutions! I wanted to learn cooking.. but that art is still to be practiced! ( I did read a lot of recepies from books and the internet though! So I did study a bit of cooking … but no dish was real enough to eat hmm…)

I wanted to read a shelf full of books… but they are still all dusty and still safely placed at the same spot I saw them after the last exam! But yea.. I did read a few books from friends.

I wanted to do choreography and teach the sunday school kids a new dance! But then again the kids were so busy with school and exams and all… and the few days they get off, they would rather do what they like than learn a dance! Gosh! The pressure of studies in kids now is so sad… And well even I got lazy!

I wanted to rearrange the whole interior of my house and give it a new look… Give it a casually clean look with more colour and better use of space by making maximum furniture positions look built-in and yet pleasing to the aesthetic sense! Ahh… or atleast throw away all my good ol books from school and college and just get it cleared up! But somehow it hasn’t sank into me yet that I’ve actually got rid of school life and even college life and that Im actually entering the life of a carreer women! And that my home.. sweet home… doesnt need to have any of my things in it anymore since Im leaving town!

And there are so many other things that I wanted to do… reminding myself of it all is just making me feel sick inside! hmm… And the worst part is… Im leaving home… and I mighnot get the time or the opportunity again to learn and do all that I could have, this past two months!

Life is passing by… Lets not play around… lets not get lazy… let us finish our race and accomplish what we were called to do… this world is not our home.. its just a passing by… Let every blessing that God gives us, including time not be taken for granted… Life is passing by… lets not break resolutions… But make resolutions that matter… that matter in the long run… that matter to eternity! Have a purpose in life… And this is eternal life that you might “know” God! Just knowing Him will give you a purpose to live… the purpose to please Him

God Bless us all!
