Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account...Oscar Wilde
New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody. Along with the provision of nice parties, it has become customary to make a nice wish list also called NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS. These range from promising to exercise regularly and loose weight, to being honest, be good to others, quit smoking/drinking, work harder, relax more etc. Many will vouch for change in the arriving year but how many of them do actually keep their promise?
The responsibility and capability for change lie within the person. The fact of the matter is that reward/hope of a positive outcome should be ingrained within the act that one is trying to achieve, i.e. the changed state brings pleasure or makes one feel significant. The motive for change should come from within. If external factors are the driving force, it doesnt last too long. The promise for change should be to ourselves and not to the new years! This is simply a slippery seduction. The key element of transformation is a clear and firm decision to change.There is truth to the saying that we can "talk ourselves into" a change. If I say it, and no one has forced me to say it, then I must believe it! And the way to get started is to quit claiming and begin doing.
May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions!
