      FOREWORD

      Resolve. It’s a word that everybody knows, but not many dwell on. Maybe that’s why so many things are talked about but rarely followed through with. Resolve is defined as coming to a definite or earnest decision about something. Many people mistakenly think that you can come to that decision while sitting on your butt and thinking about grand plans. That’s not deciding. True decision making is past-tense. It’s an idea that has had the effort put into it, through resolve, and then come to be as a result of unyielding effort. Think about the ideas that you’ve had that you’ve actually followed through with. Maybe it has to do with a job, or a hobby, or your health. Each time you followed through on that idea, you can now say truthfully that that you decided to pursue it. But for all of the times that a great idea popped into your mind and you didn’t follow through, you didn’t decide anything. Decision requires resolve. It requires a “no retreat, no surrender” attitude that was employed by our ancient warrior brothers, the Spartans. This is why New Year’s resolutions can’t be made, only looked back on. A large part of my writing has to do with shedding light on the definition of certain words, and how they’ve been corrupted from misuse. The word “resolution” is a victim of this corruption. It’s up to you to help rehabilitate the word’s definition. Don’t make resolutions. Formulate an idea, do the work, employ resolve, and then look back and proudly proclaim, “I fulfilled that resolution.” It’s easy to say “I resolve to do this” or “I resolve to do that.” That’s why a vast majority of the world’s population does it every year when the clock strikes midnight on January 1st. But ask yourself this; In four or five or six months time, how many of those people will be able to look back and say, “I decided. I resolved.” Because if you didn’t do it, then you didn’t decide or resolve anything. All you decided and resolved was to further corrupt the word. Resolve to be better than that.

      Resolve,

      INTRO

      Warrior Resolutions

      I resolve to do this year

      What I have done today

      And that’s to put into motion

      All of the things I say

      I resolve to stop making

      A list of things to do

      I resolve to recognize

      I must put ground to shoe

      I resolve to stop wishing

      And picturing my goals

      I resolve to recognize

      It is I that controls

      Not a list of resolutions

      That will be ignored

      Every time I’m feeling lazy

      Lethargic or bored

      I resolve to not rise to

      My expectation’s level

      Instead my degree of training

      Is in which I will revel

      I resolve to not care if it’s

      New Year’s Day or not

      A calendar does not control

      Potential I have got

      I resolve to shut up now

      And go forth and kick ass

      And not waste any more time talking

      Of what I’ll amass

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
