RESOLUTIONS OR NOT



Hi dearies....Errrm I have decided to change the way I write and so it's just going to be pouring out my mind into words, not necessarily in form of write ups... Let's see how it's goes. For those that might not like it , just support me, that's what friends and fans do... Or am I wrong ? Anyways back to the discussion .

It's a new year and everyone looked forward to seeing it including me, I noticed that the reason people look forward to January 1 is because it's a start of a new begining for them and not just an ordinary day. Start of a new begining in the sense that, they want everything fresh , some new set of items, some new set of attitudes or attributes. Some go further into writing new year resolutions. I for one don't buy the idea, simply because I am a short term person , when I see something not working or not cool for me , I want to change it or find a way to change it that same time I notice it. Let's look at it this way , if we have 5 things written out as our new year's resolution ,and at the end of the 7th month, one isn't even off the list yet , does it mean it a fail?
No , it's not a fail , it just mean that the list was probably unachievable or priorities wasn't  set right or at some point we forgot about it. For the most part ,the truth is that the new year syndrome comes and goes, especially mid January , it feels like the normal usual days and the whole excitement ,eagerness is being watered down because either new year or new day, life continues... According to Wiki, "The most common reason for participants failing their New Years' Resolutions was setting themselves unrealistic goals (35%), while 33% didn't keep track of their progress and a further 23% forgot about it."

Moral of this piece - Live your life daily as it comes
                                 Don't get caught up in the "new year syndrome"
                                 When you notice something not cool about yourself, make conscious effort to change it, firstly for yourself and maybe for some other people you care about. We can't please everybody.
