...to use or not to use.

That's the question.

Whenever I receive gifts that I like, I have a tendency not to use them. I like the item so much that I won't use it for fear of spoiling it, dirtying it, etc. After a few years of stowing it in one of my many boxes, I would discover it again. If it's lucky, it would still retain its brand new condition. In unfortunate cases, the item would be faded, outdated, or disintegrating (gasp!) Sigh... such a waste.

So I'm making a new resolution for this coming new year. Use them! It doesn't matter if it wears out with much use. At least, it would have lived a full life. It would have fulfilled its destiny, what it was designed and created for.

Now this is the question.

Are you maximising the use of your life? Or are you stowing yourself away - for future use? For fear of getting older or incurring more bruises physcially and emotionally?

I love my gift of life, graciously given by God. I will use this precious gift.

So now I have 2 new year's resolution :)
