It's the start of a new a year... For most of us this is when we are all about resolutions, and or the things we need to do or
start doing.
It's usually an honest heartfelt
sentiment at the time. I however think
that we get way laid by a lot of the circumstances in our lives.
One of my weaknesses is sugar. Every year I vow to reduce my sugar intake to no avail... I am
that friend who is constantly by the dessert table,has a cookie at his desk, has a
bar of chocolate stashed somewhere or... You know what I mean.
Cake is just one of the
evils I believe all dietitians should make an exception to the rule for. Its decadent... *Sigh*
I had the pleasure of spending
some time with an exceptional baker.
Its amazing how much goes into that small treat that's a slice of cake or pie. So I watched in awe as she put in all her
ingredients together and mixed them to form a batter. That then went into a baking tin and boom there it was. The beautiful treat..
So it got me thinking.Too many times
we are held up in making our resolutions and forget to go all in, into what we set out to do.
We forget that we are our own worst enemy and that if we went all out the
results would rarely be negative and even if they were, you'd know you'd given it your best shot. So for this year go all out, its all you can do anyway.
Live life, love life start living and stop existing
