Being the best version of myself: My New Year’s resolutions.
December 20, 2009 | 22 Comments
As 2009 comes to an end, I wonder where the days, months and weeks have gone? Perhaps to the land of my lost socks, somewhere inside the dryer.
As 2010 approaches, I’ve been considering my resolutions for the New Year. Truth be told, there is no reason to wait until January 1, 2010 to resolve anything. In fact, now – right now – is the perfect time. Nonetheless, for the sake of tradition, I’ve been giving my resolutions some thought.For me, January 1 coincides with my trip to Sydney, Australia. In a very physical way, the start of the new year won’t be like any other day. Things will be different; I’ll be embarking on the trip of a lifetime, and so I think it will be that much easier to implement my resolutions.
In creating my list of resolutions, I’ve asked myself the following question: “What do I need to change to be the best version of myself?” And by “best”, I mean the most loving, peaceful, harmonious and fulfilled version of me.
Here are my resolutions:
- I resolve to gossip less. Gossip, I find, creates distance between myself and others. In actuality, I desire union.
- I resolve to do things outside of my routine. Routines are comfortable, but they don’t leave room for adventure and growth. I will do things – big and small – to shake up (and wake up) my life.
- I resolve to occasionally stay up later than 9:30 PM. I’m usually early to bed and early to rise, but when I was in Atlanta, I had a taste of life after 10PM. While I do not want to make late nights a habit, I don’t want to miss out on the nocturnal world entirely. I will find something of a middle ground.
- I resolve to give more. If we can’t take it with us to the grave, we must be here to give it all away. Effective immediately, 20% of the profits from my Davey Wavey apparel will benefit Farm Sanctuary. Throughout the year, I will challenge myself to realize more giving opportunities. Ideas always welcome!
It’s a hearty list, but it’s a list that strikes me as totally doable. I look forward to creating the best version of myself.Now it’s your turn. What resolutions do you have for 2010?

why bother with YEARLY resolutions when we can do them DAILY!
This year I am going to attempt to belittle myself less. How can I expect others to like me when I don’t like who I am?
2010 adds up to me getting into college and hopefully finding some escape from my parents… there within, I resolve to go all out, “to be the very best there every was”, and I say that with all the dillusions of grandeur the old Pokemon fad has given my little Nintendo fanboy heart. Next year, I start a new life and I will pull no punches, even if my parents keep begging me to pull them all and stay trapped in there comfort zone.
Hi Davey
I love reading your updates. You are obviously blessed – travelling to the other side of the world!
I don’t feel comfortable.. as I’ve typed this later… gossip..that’s life… and routines are habits which are hard to resolve … and I’m trying to fix them … but i’m often late especially now as it’s 04:08am
for bed!
For me it’s simple.
1. To continue making myself healthier and happier through working out (which i just started doing the first of this month) and spending time with myself and friends.
2. Go back to school so i can work on getting the job of my dreams.
3. Get back into the dating world. i have been single for the last two years. its time to start up again.
4. Get back in touch with my family. only being 19 and not speaking to my parents is not ok.
I resolve to practice loving kindness while nourishing my body,
.
To remain 97% vegetarian.
.
To meditate at least 1 hour per day.
.
Work out 3 times a week leading to 5 then back to three again.
.
To read 2-3 books a day.
.
Not listen to the machine at work around me. or better yet, not put much thought into what other people are saying at times.
.
To gain more fundamentals of genres in soceity without attachment.
.
Drink more tea.
.
See things for what they actually are.
.
Watch more hawt gay porn. lolz
.
Listen to at least 4 hours of techno per day.
.
Get into a prophetic herbal state without attachment to a specific cause or alteration of my own spiritual knowledge state in otherwords i dont really want to be intoxicated.
.
Speak kindly with passing aminals.
.
Observe the artistic and transcendant beauty in nature everyday and every time i get a chance.
.
Observation in complete adoration of the male physique.
.
Be my higher self.
.
Guide everyone i have ever met into a state of being that is all to familiar, one that they have longed for for ages.
.
Not put so much hype into these end of days theories lol it is fun for entertainment but…at least 4 or 5 significant ones hit every decade for some reason or another-would relay a simple state of advanced paranoia but the people can be extreme looney toons. but it is fun to dive into a mind.
.
Continue with my “second life” Virtual reality connected yet disconnected….
.
Ignore hippies
.
Ignore masons
.
Get over my breakup…..men! lol what can i say.
.
Buy a few silver rings for each finger.
.
Become a 1/2 animal 1/4 frog like 1/4 angel slash ceasar!
-.-SD.-.
I have a bad habit of making New Years resolutions and never sticking to them. So my New Years resolution for 2010 is to commit to any promise I make, either to myself or to someone else. It’s as simple as that, and so this way I can make my own resolutions as they come along. Because I think making promises that you would force yourself keep for the rest of the year can be a difficult task as a lot can happen in the course of one year. Things change, you make new friends; lose a couple maybe.
I hope that everyone has a merry Christmas and that the new year brings a new range of opportunities for you all.
Yeah, and what’s with living in a moment!

This is perhaps one of my favorite posts of yours Davey. Not so much because your thoughts and resolutions are fantastic (they normally are), but more because of the comments that folks leave for this type of post It’s so interesting to see what others are resolving themselves to accomplish in 2010.
I am not making any new resolutions, but rather hope to continue on my path of trying to make myself a better person every day. It’s a fluid goal, that changes as I do. Some days I fall short, and on others I exceed. Most of my goals in life have time frames and end dates, but when it comes to self improvement I don’t think there is an end.
I remember you asked the same question last year. I’m still working on my list for next year.
Last year’s resolutions were tough, among them, going to South Africa, Hiking the 93 miles around Mt. Rainier, and the toughest — going to Ecuador and climbing Cotopax — which I just did yesterday — in the nick of time.
I might be a bit easier on myself this year!
Maybe, like you, a bit more self development. I do need to volunteer more.
wow! have a hard row to hoe!
bye,
David,
I’ve read long ago on the blog of somebody you know some resolutions or promises that really speak to my heart. Though I can’t express in such a beautiful way, they will be mine too :
“I PROMISE MYSELF
To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet
To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them
To Look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only
the best
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my
own
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater
achievements of the future
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every
living creature I meet
To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to
criticize others
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and
too happy to permit the presence of trouble
To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in
loud words, but in great deeds
To live in the faith that the world is on my side, so long as I am true
to the best that is in me”
bye,
Ps :
“If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your own path.”
It’s so true that I love it! Did I tell you that I have a note book, like a kid, in which I copy in English, things that inspire me much! I copy a lot from your blog but without pretending it’s my own work!!!
bye,
no resolution – just a task – to inspire courage in those who hate – for it is easy to hate – but takes courage to love.
hehe – Brandon, I think you’re onto something, the way to successfully achieve New Years resolutions; work on them daily!
Cheers!
NEW YEAR RESOLUTION….DO without Davey Wavey.
Not to be Negative but??
Honestly, The boy is NEVER on here. Never answers an e mail.
All of 26 years old and seems to know EVERYTHING.
Will $ell anything po$$ible $o he can MOVE 20 times or FLY to $omewhere el$e like a GLITTING QUEEN.
Then Donate 20% of hi$ Clothline Profit$ $o people will not abuses COW$ while $porting his New Leather Exercise NIKE$.
I was Impressed at first, Really…But the GLITTING wore off…I mean GLITTER!! See Ya Davey. Balance this EGG!!
I have wished, particularly, respond to your comment, Studhunter. I’m sorry you want to quit Davey’s blog and I don’t judge you, neither judge I Davey. I understand your feelings and I believe I’m able to share your disappointment or should I say your disillusion.
Above all, I want this comment to be constructive and it is in no case a disparagement of Davey’s work; I am not ungrateful. His work is from afar, much more than a very good work; it is very useful for lots of us. There won’t be enough “thanks” said for that.
David talked about his new year’s resolutions and asked us what resolutions we are having for 2010. I wrote my own resolutions down in the comments. But I will do more than that, I will ask Davey to consider a 5th resolution for the coming year, which is unusual from me and certainly new for him.
How can he refuse when he says to be inspired by the world and universe? I’m part of it. So, I think he will listen to me, if not, he will read me.
First of all, I believe, I’m even sure that Davey doesn’t know all about all, happily. If not, what can he learn from each of us? I personally think the most important things that we can learn on life can’t be found in books, whatever the quality of the book or the reputation of the author.
On the contrary, it’s when we share our point of view with others that we are evolving and we are growing. I have learned that in this blog and with the blog buddies.
I don’t think Davey is deaf ; nor that he will turn a deaf ear to a piece of advice from me and a comment like yours.
You said that Davey is never on here and never answer an email. You certainly have the feeling not to be taken in consideration. I have this feeling too and it’s really a pity.
David can’t unfortunately answer all emails and we must understand that. Davey recently created a chat room to connect with each other. That’s a very good idea, greatly appreciated . I will add it was nice and generous of him but also well thought.
Afterthought, I also asked to myself : why are you attracted so much with his blog, when there are so many blogs on the internet? Is it to chat with other blog buddies? I surely will!!! but I am on his blog, mainly because it was the first I read, but also because his posts are entertaining, well written and clever. I also wanted to understand his point of view on life and share my thoughts and impressions on it with him. I don’t always agree with his posts and I’m sure he was often gnashing his teeth when he read my comments! Notwithstanding, I always spoke in a forthright manner. I’m also loyal and honest. I think I’ve learned a lot from him and from the blogbuddies!
You also talked about money. How can a blog survive on the long run without money? I don’t know exactly but, I presume to have a blog like this one is not particularly cheap. But no one is obliged to buy his workout videos or clothes!but it’s also the business on the net! And you must be honest with that ; it would be a pity if he didn’t use this opportunity. Moreover, it would have been stupid of him and I think he’s not. Lots of people with a blog do it!
So, David, I would like to ask you if it is possible to answer to comments of blog buddies. We need to know you are there, to receive sometime encouragements with answers to our comments, not always, not all the time but, more than sometime. Your phrases made of three words are not responses, David! It would be kind of you, and it certainly takes you less that one minute (when it took me more than two hours to write this comment and I’m sure there are still spelling and grammar mistakes everywhere) but I did it.
We also need to feel implicated like you implicate us in a lot of your posts by asking us questions. I’m often amazed by the number of replies! If you do that, it’s not a big deal, just that, you will not lose the war but you will win against a lot of criticisms and gain more sympathy. You would be also astonished to remark a boom in the number of visits on your blog and why not in your sales. I think that it would be a good way to begin this new year with a so simple resolution. It’s up to you to decide but, thanks for taking time to read me.
Love you, always.
bye,
Whew! I’m glad that one’s finally gone. Carry on, Davey!
WELL THAT!! Nails the HORSESHOE to the Wall…I will NOT Drink the KOOL AID!!
Nor Wear a Purple Clothe over my Face with NIKIE’S on!! QUOTE “DAVEY is from AFAR”
My Resolution is to cut out people that try to tell you you how to live. I,m personally positive about my outlooks..Really don,t need Davey to tell me how to do it.
BREAKING THE DE ILLUSION
If I were 18 I might listen …And Later in Life be sorry for it.
We all have to make a Positive way through life…But NOT at the Advice of Others.
Please!! Someone E mail this to OPRAH and DR PHIL, Jim and Tammy Baker, ORAL ROBERTS, JERRY, Of Course JIM JONES, And anyone else that would have the NERVE to tell you HOW to be Gay. It’s a GIFT!! Enjoy it!
If I was hard on Davey I,m sorry. Just at my age I Question. JAMES
I don’t have any. It’s too disappointing when I break them about 30 seconds into the new year.
