HAPPY 823 AS ? Part 4
New Years Resolutions

---

by: Pam Hendriks

It's this time of the year again. The first day of the new year is filled with statements and commitments to change the 364 days to come. Haven't we heard it all?

I will quit taking Cardamine. I will not get drunk any more. I will exercise. I will eat healthy. I won't go to strip clubs any more. …

How many do really pursue their resolutions? And why are we not sticking to them. The first tough situation is also the first excuse to inhale some of the orange substance.

Most of the resolutions fail because they are

what you think you should be doing
and not
what you really want to be doing.

So which of the two will most likely succeed? Things which you should be doing are more like goals or objectives. Reaching those goals implicate reaching happiness. But is it really that way? Once you reach a goal, does there need to be another and another until there are no more, and what then?

I personally don't like those goals. I like to enjoy life right where I'm at and if there is something to change then it should make my life more enjoyable.

So a good resolution would the one, which lets you experience the way to reach a specific goal and that experiences along the way will be awesome.

In my humble opinion goals need to be the results of great experiences.

So here are my 3 experiences for this year:

1. Enjoy life to the fullest but leave out the unhealthy stuff like Cardamine or a lot of hang overs

2. Meet everyone with an open mind, listen and try to understand

3. Experience Sirius by balancing work with life a lot better than in the past. Remember we work to live not the other way round. Well besides of the work-a-holics like me.

So think about your 3 resolutions and put positive experiences in front of them making it enjoyable to achieve them.

I'd love to hear your comments and get your feedback. Please contact me on a private channel though.

On a different note:

We appreciate all the donations to our ship.

It will help us to purchase a better bigger one in the future. A bigger ship will make it possible to travel into the border and edge world. According to our specialist we're looking at a gunboat class, which is by itself not too expensive, but the accessories like armor upgrades, … are.

Our goals from a work perspective:

1. Visit and report from the border and edge worlds

2. Get a better ship, our Civilian Shuttle won't make it far in the border and edge worlds.

3. Apply for a neutral permit (250 million credits) to allow us to visit all different factions and report about them, publish their stories and so on. I'd love to meet them all!
