DAVID DOWNLOW'S NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS FOR 2013


It’s that time of where when we all say check please to 2012, and start running our tab up on 2013.  We all have had many successes and many areas of opportunity in this past year.  As I bring in the New Year I reflect on where I’ve been and where I’m ‘bout to go.

I am proud as punch at how far FCK YES! has come in the 8 months it’s been running, but I know that the punch bowl could be bigger, sweeter, and more hyphy.  I’ve met so many awesome people and been to some awesome places since I’ve started this project.  It excites me to think what is next for FCK YES! but also reminds me to keep my eyes on the prize.

It’s important to stick to your goals.  Nobody wants to break a promise, especially to yourself.  If you can’t trust in yourself, then how can you expect others to?  Keep yourself happy and others will follow.  A big part of that happiness is being true to the person you see in the mirror.  Be real on every level, be it the goals you set, the company you keep, or what you tell yourself when no ones around.  Part of being real is never forgetting, “If you want somethin', go get it. Period.

Call it cheesy, call it played, call it what you will but here is my list of resolutions for 2013.  Feel free to point and laugh, or feel free to use some of mine on your list.  Whatever you do, just write down a list and tape it to your bathroom mirror so you don’t lose sight of your goals.

WORK HARD

Hard work doesn’t mean you always have to be sweating or conjuring ideas that will change the world. Persistently working is hard work.  Always be moving or always be thinking.  If you’re not physically working on a goal then be thinking of how you can work to achieve that goal.

2013:  I will never not be hustlin’ FCK YES!

STAY FIT

…both mentally and physically.  I know it’s been said 900000000 times, but your body is your temple.  Be careful with it because you only get one.  Be mindful of what you eat, be careful to let your body sit stagnate to long, and be sure to exercise your mind at least once a day.

2013:  I will eat junk only 1 day per week, work out 4 times a week, and read 1 hour every day.

TRAVEL MORE

I’ve scoured this great state of New York, but there are still so many places in it I have yet to experience. There are still so many places in the world I want to see with my own eyes and smell with my nose.

2013:  Go more places if even just for a weekend.

FIND THE SILVER LINING

Life is hard enough as it is, but when people have a storm cloud attitude it makes it a little bit harder. Pointing how much a sucky situation sucks doesn’t do any favors for anyone.

2013:  I will find the silver lining in every situation I encounter.

TIDY UP

“Cleanliness is next to Godliness”.  How can you expect to have a clutter free mind if the space you work in is cluttered?  How can you expect to feel like a million bucks if you look like you got dressed in the dark?

2013:  I will clear out the clutter and dress to impress.

GET HYPHY

People get down on themselves too hard nowadays.  We see how successful people are on Facebook, T.V., or wherever and instead of using that to fuel the inner fire we sometimes get down on ourselves for not being that rich or successful.

2013:  I will get hyphy as FCK on the regular.. about everything.  Ever.

Now get out there and RAGE FACE and BE SAFE this New Years Eve!

Feel free to share your New Years Resolution with me.  I’d like to see what the FCK YES! fam is planning for 2013.
