i don't typically do new years resolutions. even if i do, they last about four hours and twenty three seconds. however, i "recently" (a few minutes ago) "stumbled" (i googled it) upon this resolution: "Resolved, to live with all my might, while I do live."
that i might be able to swing. but as easy as it may sound, living with all your might is anything but. it's hard work. i'd venture to say it's absolutely impossible. after all, you can't possibly make every single second of every single day count for something. besides, even if you could, wouldn't you want to relax every now and then? what's worth putting every ounce of effort i posses into?
"Resolved, to endeavor to obtain for myself as much happiness, in the other world, as I possibly can, with all the power, might, vigor, and vehemence, yea violence, I am capable of, or can bring myself to exert, in any way that can be thought of."
a personal opinion: heavenly happiness > worldly happiness.
Jonathan Edwards agrees.
