Instead of making the usual bullshit resolutions, this year I’m going down a different road: I’m not making rules, or diets, or restrictions… Instead, this year I’m going to grant myself Three wishes. Just like a genie in a lamp. And I’ve promised myself that by this time next year, my wishes will have come true. So, all I have to do is close my eyes, think of something I want more than anything in the world, and wish for it. I’m limiting myself to three: classically, three is the number of wishes anyone ever gets, and theres no sense in being greedy, or asking for too much and being disapointed. So, one of my wishes might be, I WISH I HAD A BETTER JOB. This is my wish, so to make it come true, I need a few things, maybe more education, a better personality, to be a better timekeeper, to be more reliable… whatever, do what has to be done to make this wish come true. I WISH I COULD DO A KIP-UP… I’ve always wanted to do a kung-fu kip-up, you know, going from a lying position to a standing position in one easy move? OK, so for this wish to come true, I need to hit the gym more often… cut out the sweets and the bad diet, get more flexible…ok, take a yoga class, maybe go back to kick-boxing training that I quit years ago… before too long, my wish has come true! I can do a Kip-up! I WISH I HAD MY OWN HOUSE… ok, so I’ll need money, so I’ll need to lose the bottomless pit of debt I’m in, quit wasting money on hookers and guns, sort my finances out, get that raise/promotion/better job, and hey presto! Thank you, Mr. Genie! A house of my very own! I wish I could be an author! I wish I was an actor! I wish I could visit China! These are just a few suggestions, you can wish for anything, then grant your own wishes by putting in the effort… Instead of the usual “My resolution is to give up the smokes/drink/arson…” Dont put limits and restrictions on your life, they’ll never last! Post your wishes here, and we’ll all try and figure out simple ways to make them come true!
Be your own genie! Make this the best year ever!!
