Such is the case with other old habits in life, those things that you want never to have to do again. You don't have to. A better purpose and focus for a new year is to shake off what you don't like and make the change you have imagined. Start with something that seems simple and not so disruptive that it takes too long - donate those dated clothes that you keep because they still fit (or you hope they fit again one day); redo a room and go all out from wall and trim paint to floors, window covering, accessories, pictures and paintings. Do one bag or box of clothes, one room, develop one friendship with someone you recently met.
Now work on your mind in the same way. Dispose of the old, tired, and out-of-date ways and ideas. And just like cheques and corded phones, they may only have become irrelevant very recently, but they are still irrelevant.
One of my favorite quotes is one I heard from Joe Sherren, "If you want something you have never had, you have to do something you have never done."
That is 2011 for Kevin - doing things I have never done because I want to go places I have never been.
