jonathan edward's resolutions.

here's a couple of jonathan edward's resolutions for a new year that i particularly like:

5. resolved, never to lose one moment of time; but improve it the most profitable way i possibly can.
7. resolved, never to do anything, which i should be afraid to do, if it were the last hour of my life.
14. resolved, never to do anything out of revenge.
17. resolved, that i will live so, as i shall wish i had done when i come to die.
43. resolved, never, henceforward, till i die, to act as if i were any way my own, but entirely and altogether God's.

he was only 19 when he wrote his entire list, and he reviewed them every week of his life!

i want to make a list like this of my own.

geez, man:
Resolved, when I feel pain, to think of the pains of martyrdom, and of hell.

he was way beyond hardcore.
