Your New Year 2013 resolutions

misecmisc1

Hi All,

Still it is few days for new year 2013 to arrive. Just a thought came to my mind about 2013 resolutions. I do not make any new year resolutions, but I heard from some people that at least they make their new year resolutions. So thought of asking you all regarding your new year 2013 resolutions. So please share your new year 2013 resolutions.

Also Happy New Year 2013 to all in advance. May 2013 be a year of joy, peace and happiness for all.

I never make any. I'm wonderfully perfect as I am.
if it ain't broke - why fix it...?

BhikkhuJayasara

resolutions are vows.. and vows(forces of pure will) are made to be broken, so I never make them either

I made a resolution to quit drinking at New Years 1980 and never went back on it. The timing was right I guess.

DaftChris

Re-lose the weight.

I've gained 30 points since June.

I will become enlightened in 2013 . . . just for fun
. . . not very enlightened . . . just enough to get started . . .

Last year I vowed to bring more peace to my home, and I succeeded. Not where I want it to be, but much improved. I'm not sure if I'll make one this year or not.

-Keep the drinking very little
-Finish my course and work every day in the course book a little bit.
-Read Training the Mind
-Develope better Shamata

To try and do what it takes to be happier.

I'm starting to let go of useless pursuits now so that I can start 2013 with Dhamma as number one priority.

PremaSagar

The resolution to meditate at least twenty minutes a day

Talisman

Stay on Dean's List, get a job

Actually go to the gym instead of just thinking about it and learn to deadlift.
Get more organized.
Do more charity work.
Get more sleep.

I'd just be happy remembering my spell checker before pressing "Post Comment".

vinlyn

This year I am making no resolutions.

Kangaroo

Get more active and lose some weight.
Try to go to temple at least once a week.
Meditate EVERY day.

BonsaiDoug

Same as the last two years, which I haven't done yet, learn Spanish.

DairyLama

Not saying "bah humbug"

Vastmind

*standing in the line*

Im with those not making any.
It creates a weird time pressure that
usually distracts me from what I'm trying
to do.

MaryAnne

To be as balanced spiritually and emotionally, as I can be... to help others - family and otherwise.

DaltheJigsaw

More chess, more meditation, more yoga. Also more love/compassion and understanding.

TheEccentric

Buddhist involving ones:
Meditate everyday with fewer exceptions and for longer
Be More mindful
Read sutras and Buddhist literature more

Non-Buddhist:
Stop Binge Eeating/over eating
Exercise more
Lose a bit of weight

Im with those not making any.

:wave:
So right. So Buddhist. So Nothing. So Absolute.
Anyone function like that? Really? Or in an unreal (secluded) reality . . .
Can we make 'great efforts' towards 'non resolution' and find resolve there?
Still resolve to 'try' . . . only 366 days or less to enlightenment . . .
Hopefully . . . oops should I be hopeful, slipping already . . .
Hopefully some of the unresolved will come too . . . just for fun . . . :thumbup:
