I Resolve To . . . I just love those three words. They are a huge part of my life. I Have Resolve. I Am Resolved. I Resolve Daily. That's why I show up here day after day writing about positive ways to pursue dreams, resolutions and goals. To me, those three words - I Resolve To - are truly magical. They're inspirational. They make me feel decisive, determined and committed. They are the launching pad for my dreams and for those special moments when I open my mind to the possibilities, then reach for the stars.
Resolve, after all, means to 'Decide Firmly.' It's such a simple word when you think about it. The 'Deciding' part of pursuing a cherished dream can also be very simple, if you let it be so. I hope you've experienced that wonderful moment, when in a flash, you just know in your head and heart what you must do. The course you must take becomes crystal clear. It's like a lightning bolt of insight. I find those moments to be both a relief and a a spark that often lights the fire of passion within me. Those moments typically arrive after I have been mulling about something important. Oh, what a wonderful feeling when you know what you you must do.
That said, the act of 'Deciding' to pursue a dream - a particular, specific course of action - is just the beginning of the journey, an exciting journey. Once you're resolved and have made a promise, a firm commitment to yourself that you will pursue your dream, give it everything you've got, stick with it through thick and thin, and never give up - then the real work, the hard, fullfilling, rewarding work begins.
