Less Should Be More

So how's that New Year's resolution coming along? Have you hit the snooze button and overslept the gym yet? Have you splurged on chocolate because you really, really 'deserved it'?
Guess what -- you're not perfect. Nobody is. And anybody who pretends to be is simply trying to compensate for something else. But I say yes to imperfection! Yes to our innate flaws! They make us human. Unique. Not all of us are as 'well-rounded' as others. But face it -- circles are boring. Octagons. Hexagons. Now they're much more interesting.
So maybe instead of focusing on what you shouldn't be doing, and your vices and habits, focus on what you're good at. What makes you... you. Do MORE of something. Don't eat less. Eat healthy MORE. Don't watch less TV. Listen to MORE music. Good music. The classics, like Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd.
New Year's resolutions ingrain in us this idea that there are things we are and are not capable of. Things we should and should not do.
I say, forget that. We're capable of anything.
And you're capable of much, much more than you give yourself credit for.
