How will you make year 2011, simpler, happier and healthier? I think William E. Channing had it right, so I am going to borrow some words of wisdom from him on how we can make this year amazing. It's pretty simple, just make the right choices.
"Will you…
Live contentedly with small means.
Seek elegance over luxury,
and refinement rather than fashion.
Seek to be worthy, not respectable
wealthy, not rich?
Will you choose to listen to stars and birds,
babes and sages?
Study hard, think quietly
act frankly, talk gently?
Await occasions, hurry never?
Let the spiritual, unbidden and
unconscious grow up though the common?
Will you stop being busy?
Stop hiding who you really are?
Stop taking it all so seriously
Start something (anything)?
Start scaring yourself?
Start getting rid of the crap
Stop following the rules
Choose being happy over being right"
It is all a choice.
