New Years Resolutions

Selflessness

If you think about it, most problems really come down to being selfish: lying, stealing, cheating, greed, etc. I figure, if I fix this one thing, the rest of it will automatically sort itself out!
Something I've always wanted to do was to sponsor a child. If you click on the link, you can see her. Her name is Krame, she's 5 years old and from Mauritania. It's a fairly large country, just above Senegal, on the North-West coast of Africa. http://www2.worldvision.ca/sponsorship/app?service=external/Show&id=ff8080810f70f5b5010ffe9b31e400fe&lang=en
My next step was to volunteer to take notes for diabled students. I have two classes - Canadian Political History and Political Philosophy - in which students need help with getting notes. I figure, if I'm there anyway and it's as simple as emailing them over, why not! It's the least I can do.

Purity

This sense comes in both body and mind. After a Christmas of wonderful baking, home cooked meals, and not a lot of exercise, I need to make a change. Not only how or how much I output energy, but when kind of energy I intake as well. It's kind of hard living at home and having little-no control over what kind of food gets bought and served, but in order to stay healthy I need to start being consious of what I eat. Presently, I'm the heaviest I've ever been in my life. Now, this changes very easily - I can lose 3 pounds in a day, or gain 2 in just one meal - but I need to make some permanent changes. Both sides of the family have history of heart conditions and diabetes and I don't want that for myself. I just don't understand how these severely overweight people are willingly killing themselves yet do nothing about it. This is your only life! Make the most of it in as much time as you possibly can!
