Developing Our Lives in 2011
by Charles Aki Marketing and Internet Consultant
My wife, Barbara Aki, has some words of wisdom that will help us in this coming year. Enjoy!!
The year 2011 will cause many people to re-evaluate their lives and make New Year's resolutions. Focusing on the new always seems exciting and adventurous. "New" helps the economy. Every year, manufacturers bring to market new cell phones, televisions and computers, to name a few. The anticipation of a new year is an exciting one; many people feel like it is a new slate. "This is the year that all our goals will be met," they say. This is what we tell ourselves year after year after year, only to divagate or stray from our well-intended mission.
As I reviewed my own personal list of what I want to achieve in the coming year, the thought came across my mind about the things that I need to develop. I have many things that are not completed and need developing. It seems easier to just throw away the old and bring in the new; after all, many of us are taught that new is better. Yet, if new is always better then, why doesn't new stay new for long?
When we develop something, we alter its position relative to its desired state. One of the definitions of development according to Dictionary.com is "to bring out the capabilities or possibilities of; bring to a more advanced or effective state." Our bodies, for example, are in a process of regeneration. We do not receive new bodies; although many of us wish we could. We have to give our bodies the proper amount of nutrition and the sleep and medical attention to help our bodies continue to work for us. In the places we live, we can not always move when we feel some dissatisfaction about where we live, so many of us embark on home improvement projects, developing our home to what we would have it to be.
The company that I represent acknowledges that we are always in the process of development. Nikken has been in business for more than thirty five years. Nikken focuses on the five pillars of health which consist of a "Healthy Body, Healthy Mind, Healthy Family, Healthy Society, and Healthy Finances." In the year 2011, choose one or all of these five pillars of health and seek to develop them.
My suggestion to my readers are to review the five pillars of health and perhaps among the five there may be one or more that you may want to develop. As always, I welcome your comments; and have a Happy Healthy New Year!

RetiredI never make new year resolutions. Or any other. I make decisions and act upon it. Works better for me. But I like your article, it is well written. I hope that many Apsense members will make the resolution or decision to write better comments or to not comment at all if they have really nothing to say. Dec 22nd 2010 09:29 |
