I could sit hear and bore you with the dictionary's definition of "resolution" and believe me there are a few.....but no, I thought I would enlighten you on some of my attempted but failed resolutions and why I will no longer pursue one, not his year nor any other year, ever again.
Over the course of my life I have vowed to follow my resolution through to the end....lets just say I don't think I know what the finish looks like. Everything from quit smoking, dieting and working out, being more charitable (the good old standbys) to the no more dating creeps...okay so that one I did win with 'cause ended up with a great guy....getting rid off bad friends, to be a better person...sorry I am what I am.... you get the picture...we've all made them, not all of us completed them.
We all have things we want to change, stop, quit and even alter....you can pick any day of the year to begin your transformation why not pick today or tomorrow...no I'm not trying to be a procrastinator...even though I am very good at it....I'm just saying that we don't need to use New Years Day as that one day a year to start to make an adjustment to our lives or lifestyle.
Why should we set ourselves up for such failure by setting, sometimes, such unattainable goals and making them public to people. Talk about a punch at the old self esteem...Why can't we, as human beings just be happy with who we are and if a change has to be made, just make it quietly, as in internalize your change and how you are going to do it...not announce it to the world.....
I understand the reason why people pick New Years day as the day to start their "change", but really any day you begin is a good thing. We have enough demands on ourselves from our work and home life as it is...you don't need the guilt from not attaining your New Year's resolution too.
This year, any change i want to make is going to be for me, by me, on my own time, with a road map to get me to my objective, 'cause this year I will be a winner and a better person for it too.
