Are resolutions realistic?

By Leave a Comment

I was never the person who liked to make New Year’s resolutions, it is always felt to me that you set yourself up with all of these resolutions and then if you don’t attain them you are left feeling disappointed and hard on yourself. I have many years where my life has been turned upside down by one event that it leaves me worried what is in store for me the next year.

I firmly believe that setting goals is a better alternative in that it gives you more room to achieve what you are looking to do in 2017.

When we set up resolutions such as we want to lose 20lbs by March, or we want to commit to eating better as a family. Then when the time comes around and we find that we have not lost the weight or we had McDonald’s one night we feel totally disappointed in ourselves and this is unrealistic.

This is why I have always tried to be easier by setting goals. It is my hope, wish and dream to simple try and make these changes in my life. In order to reach these goals I will try in certain areas in my life to try a little bit harder. The key here is that I said a little bit harder. I already know that I work hard, but I know that I am capable of this. I am also aware that energy doesn’t always mean trying. Trying is actively making decisions to do stuff in that moment. When I find myself putting to much energy into something that is not working I will stop and re-evaluate thus I will try a little harder to come up with a solution and I have achieved my goal.

My goal this year is to try. I will try a little harder to work on my relationships. I will try a little harder to be open to new opportunities and to go after the things that I want. The worse that can happen is that someone will say no, but I know that I have tried. The biggest thing this year is that I will try not to be so hard on myself, to accept myself and to forgive myself. So, when something doesn’t work out, I don’t come down on myself like a ton of bricks, but I accept and know that did try.

That is all that you can expect from yourself, and it is a lesson that I am trying to learn.

Cars 3 Cast Info With Owen Wison, Cristela Alonzo and Armie Hammer! @DisneyPixar #Cars3

By Leave a Comment

Owen Wilson is returning to voice Lightning McQueen in Cars 3.  He seemed to fall apart during his last race!

Lightning McQueen is world champion—a modern-day racing legend who’s riding high with five Piston-Cup wins under his hood. Suddenly, he finds himself faced with a new generation of racers who threaten not only his dominance in the sport—but the confidence that got him there. Determined to get back to the pole position, the #95 must decide if his love for racing is enough to fuel the comeback of his life.

We will have to wait and see the movie to find out how it all pans out! Owen is joined by Cristela Alonzo and Armie Hammer as unconventional trainer Cruz Ramirez and next-gen racer Jackson Storm, respectively.

“Cristela is full of optimism and a positive energy that I think really comes through in Cruz’s personality,” said CARS 3 Director Brian Fee. “And of course, she’s a hilarious comedian, so that doesn’t hurt either. Armie brought a great combination of intensity and charm to the role of Jackson Storm. His charisma helped create a character you really love to hate.”

Cruz Ramirez is a sunny-but-fierce unconventional trainer at the Rust-eze Racing Center. She expertly arms the team’s talented rookies with cutting-edge tools to tear up the track—but she nearly stalls when her longtime idol Lightning McQueen shows up. While she’d love to help him find his way back to the top, she knows the competition is faster than ever, and victory is all about speed—or is it?

Jackson Storm is fast, sleek and ready to race. A frontrunner in the next generation of racers, Storm’s quiet confidence and cocky demeanor are off-putting—but his unmatched speed threatens to redefine the sport. Trained on high-tech simulators that are programmed to perfect technique and maximize velocity, Jackson Storm is literally built to be unbeatable—and he knows it.

Directed by Brian Fee (storyboard artist “Cars,” “Cars 2“) and Produced by Kevin Reher (“A Bug’s Life,” “La Luna” short), CARS 3 cruises into theaters on June 16th!
