Hey everybody! I’m back from my hiatus, and hopefully better than ever. I just wanted to give you a brief overview of what’s going to be in the works for the next month or so.
With Thanksgiving in the rearview mirror, it’s safe to say that the holiday season is upon us. Which also means that it’s time to start thinking about New Year’s resolutions. And this year, I think I’ve come up with a winner. It goes something like this:
Part 1: Give things second chances.
Part 2: Look for the good in all things.
Let me explain. As you are no doubt aware, I am a very opinionated guy. When I feel strongly for one side of an argument, I stick to it. If I think something is good, then I will defend it tooth and nail. If I think something is bad, I do everything in my power to prove that to others.
So this year, I’m going to try to open my mind, and try to find redeeming qualities in things that I previously saw as all bad. That’s not saying that I’m going to love everything I see, it just means that I’m going to try to be a little more open-minded, and not so rigid on my opinions.
I’ve decided that I’m going to get a head start on this resolution, so I’m going to begin before the New Year comes. Here’s the plan: I’m going to pick three things that I have been known to dislike strongly, and give them all a second chance. That does not mean that I will necessarily like them the second time around, but I will try to find what good parts there are in an attempt to reduce the black-and-white aspect of my opinions. The three things are:
1. Avatar
2. Harry Potter
3. Shakespeare
What does this mean? It means that I’m going to re-watch/read these three things, and look for the good in them. I may not fall in love with any of them, but I least I will be able to say that I gave them a second shot.
So, as I go through the month re-exploring old non-favorites, I’ll keep you up to date on how my journey of self rediscovery goes.
Until next time,
Harry
