Wrap your love around a new idea.
I myself, am dedicating myself to greatness! I want to put more effort into individual things that I do, and not try to do too many things.
Better to do one or two things with greatness, than to try to do a million half-heartedly. Accomplishment can mean different things to different people, but to me if one thing is done well, then that is worth all the effort. Multitasking is a word I despise, because to me it means you have too many balls in the air and you are bound to not catch one of them.
I have no resolutions, save that one. Greatness! That sums it all up right there.
Full attention on the things, people and jobs before me. (One photo, not ten. One phone call, not ten emails.)
No empty promises (I've never been good at those anyways, but it doesn't hurt to throw that in there.)
No time wasting. (Love that good doctor! So wise.)
Embracing the new, seeking a challenge, making the world a different, and better place. (Encouraging, cheering and helping.)
Contributing from my core. (Authentically so. Drawing from the well's of inspiration around me.)
Being great. (Be great with me! Challenge yourself to the same.)
Leave 2009 a place of hope. 2010 is for greatness...measured in leaps and bounds! Heart-pounding, palm-wringing, anxiety-ridden BOUNDS! You will intuitively know the right path for you. Shake it up and get off course, explore a horizon you've not seen.
Oh the same/old is comfy, but it doesn't smack of greatness, does it?
Go get em, kids! See you in '10!
xo
i hope all the greatness you seek comes to you in 2010. greatness is a worthy resolution indeed.
happy new year!
:-)

Here is to greatness! I raise a glass of cheer (okay, I will tomorrow night, it's a little early in the day, even for me!! lol!!) to these thoughts of yours.
Keeping things simple, and not overstretching our limits...opens the doors to greatness, to being filled and fulfilled in those moments that count. I'm with you on that!
I went to Maithri's blog and loved what I read there. Truly powerful and poignant. A message well worth being reminded of.
Wishing you and yours a beautiful, promising, and delightful new year. I think you have much ahead to rejoice about!

How very Zen of you! Amen to that. Too many people are trying to do too many things too quickly (I think the root of this comes from the invention of the microwave oven). In the words of one of the greatest sages of our times, "Life moves pretty fast. If youdon't stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it."
So let's hear it for your greatness and all of those you inspire.
Happy 2010!

Oh, how beautifully written. You made me stop and reflect on the many balls I am juggling and how I feel as if none are given the attention that they deserve. Such is "Jack of all trades and master of none." My biggest problem in life has been taking on too much - doing too much - and enjoying so many different things that I find it difficult to resolve to focus entirely on one thing. Thank you for your words and your post - now to decide at what I wish to aim for Greatness. That is the question.

I love your big, bold declaration. Greatness indeed. I think we probably all need to borrow a bit of your boldness and declare our own pursuit of greatness. Happy, happy new year, my friend.
