With a new year upon us, so are the ever daunting "New Year's Resolutions." For some, these resolutions are pointless wastes of time, but for others they embody what they hope to accomplish during the upcoming year, who they want to become. And then there are the rest of us who are stuck in the middle. The ones who make resolutions year after year, only to forget about them a few months down the road. I plead guilty to falling into this category of hopeless resolution makers. But this year, I'm resolving (get it, resolving!) to stick to mine. Not for the sake of being able to say that I followed through with my New Year's Resolutions, but because I know that if I do, I'm going to be thanking myself later. Of course, one should always be working to improve and better themselves, but setting these goals and starting anew at the beginning of a new year, is so much more effective and it gives deeper meaning to the "new", in "New Year" A New Year grants everyone a fresh and clean slate and hands you opportunity (and lot's of it I may add, if you remember to keep your hands open). A New Year means another year older, means new perspectives, let's you leave what you wish to not remember in the past, leaving you with a new path to forge. The most important thing to do when making New Year's Resolutions is to make ones whose end effect will bring you one thing, happiness. Because the truth is, that's what a resolution should bring, and when you think about it, it sounds about right. So whether you hope to run a half marathon, or become more organized, always make sure to make your resolutions with your happiness as the final destination.
For now I leave you with my New Year's Resolutions along with few others. It's not to late to make yours!
