The promise
This will be my 160th post and I promised myself to put more thought into my blog posts and do a few rounds of editing before I post the blog entry. To improve, one needs to constantly evaluate and re-evaluate countless times on the task that one undertook so that the person can excel in that task. The standard of my blog posts has dropped considerably by my standards and this is due to the slack attitude I took in crafting blog posts. One of the reasons I started to blog was to improve on my writing style and what started out as a promise turned into a mediocre, pointless task and my writing style has deteriorated and it has to improve before it worsens into uninteresting, boring and aimless posts.
Discipline
Blogging is like any task. It requires discipline to excel in a task. It takes courage to take the first step but discipline to finish the task. Starting on a task is always simple but finishing the task is difficult as finishing the task encompasses encountering setbacks and difficulties and overcoming them. I made the first step to blog 2 years ago and I will have to gather the discipline to constantly improve on my blog posts and this will be the perfect time to work on my discipline.
Bad habits
In the past, I had promised myself to start changing a few bad habits. As always, I usually start out optimistically but will fizzle out shortly due to a lack of mental stamina. I have decided to be more conscious of a few bad habits and constantly remind myself to be aware of the bad habits so that I will make an effort to change the bad habits. I prefer not to talk about these bad habits in my blog as I find it pointless and a waste of time to tell the readers of my blog on my bad habits as some of them are BASIC.
Another reason for my failure in overcoming my bad habits is that I tell myself to change a lot of bad habits and the danger of undertaking many tasks is the loss in mental stamina and will power. I hope that I will not get back to my old habits before new year’s day eve as I do not want them to be part of my resolution. Now, I understand how a drug addict out of rehab feels as he usually finds the easy way out.
Resolution
I suddenly got reminded of my new year’s resolution and I have not come up with one for next year. For some years, I did not bother to come up with a resolution as I felt it was unnecessary and at times told myself not to cheat myself and come up with a resolution for the sake of just that one day. For other years that I came up with a resolution, I simply forgot about the resolution by the first week and will not feel guilty about following up on my resolution and promise. 2009 will be special and I hope to achieve to what I set out to achieve and start to give more thought for my resolution so that I will set my heart to achieve the goals.
