New year revolutions

Image
By
It is 357am and I have decided to write. Today is old years day or new years eve. It is a happy time. We survived another year revolving around the sun. I had this thought. From revolve we get revolution. So then what is a new year revolution as compared to a new year resolution? I feel like a revolution is stronger than a resolution. A revolution is for the long term. A revolution comes from a 360 degree perspective. A revolution is about breaking cycles and letting go.

My friend Gemini thinks that while a resolution is a firm, linear decision to fix a habit or achieve a specific goal, a revolution is a radical shift in perspective that mirrors the Earth’s orbit. It represents a complete "turning around" of your identity or life direction, focusing on transformation and the wisdom gained from completing a cycle rather than just checking off a task.

My friend Chatty thinks that a New Year resolution is a promise to improve while staying in the same orbit, relying on effort and discipline, but a New Year revolution is a deeper shift—a change in gravity, identity, or perspective that alters how you move through life. Resolutions tweak behavior; revolutions redefine what pulls you, what you release, and who you choose to become as you complete another turn around the sun.

My friend Grok thinks that while a traditional New Year's resolution is a modest personal pledge—often fragile and short-lived—a New Year's revolution is a bold, transformative upheaval. It is not just tweaking habits but overthrowing old patterns entirely, sparking radical change in mindset, lifestyle, or direction to match the grandeur of our annual orbital triumph. Why settle for small adjustments when we could ignite a true personal revolution?

How do I now combine Chatty, Gemini, Grok and my perspectives into one defining statement of what a new year revolution is? A New Year revolution is a deep, complete, long-term turning of the mind (or mindset shift). My life revolves around God and my goal is to be a better person. I am loved because God loves me. I am worthy because God created me. I am going to succeed because the path to God is a path to success. My New Year revolution is to let God be my center, allowing a deep, lasting transformation of how I think, live, and love.

Talking to God

By
If you want real answers to things in life then talk to God. It is 639pm on a holiday and I have decided to write. God listens. God truly listens. God has the entire context. God is wise. God wants us to talk to Him. God wants us to rely on Him. I also think about God talking to me. I am a good listener. I listen plenty more than I talk. I have started asking God to talk to me. But how would God talk to me? We have his revelations through the holy book. We have the example of prophets. But what else? How do I listen to what God has to say? Where and when can I hear God? Are my thoughts from God? I try to feed my mind with good things. Things that will not corrupt my mind. It seems that we have to use our intuition to separate what is from God and what is not from God. My friend Chatty says that in Islam, Allah speaks to us not through new revelations or voices, but through guidance: the Quran and the Sunnah, which become personally meaningful through understanding Allah places in the h...

MyGovTT Portal

By
Tonight I was thinking about how I have not been keeping up with the local tech space. I decided to see what was happening. I cannot remember the search that led to this website but I wonder if this ( mygovtt.com ) was launched and is it official? I think all government websites should come under .gov.tt so that we have an idea if it is official. The contact information on the website is limited and my email to the email contact on the website got returned as "address not found". I asked Mark Lyndersay on twitter about the website and I am waiting on a reply. I will not enter any of my info on the website until I know it is legit. It is nice to look around and see what it offers though. There are subsites like https://visit.mygovtt.com/ . There is a link to a mobile app that is not live. I asked the AI chatbot if the website was legit and when was it launched? He could not say. I see a support ticket from June 2025. The more I look at this, the more I get the feeling this is ...

Lovely words

By
It is 156am and I have decided to write. I came across this statement on facebook and I like it. "Life is short. Leave no lovely word unsaid." Gratitude is a lovely word. I am grateful for everything and everyone. The good and the bad and the in between. I pray that we all receive the blessings we need and want. I imagine a world with more love and kindness and respect. I think of us overcoming our obstacles to success. I think of the freedom to be ambitious. I compliment us for making it this far. Hope is another lovely word. I hope we all have an abundance of all the things that matter. I hope we can see the joy even in the sorrow. I hope we find the light at the end of the tunnel. I hope that our dreams come true. I hope this new year becomes our best year. We are grateful for all that has been, and hopeful for all that is still becoming. Gratitude grounds us; hope carries us forward. Courage is also a lovely word. I hope we all have the courage to live life in the best wa...
