A New Year Without Resolutions
Why New Years resolutions? Why not mid September resolutions or Spring resolutions? My personal belief is, if you have a goal or changes that need to be made and decide to employ these goals and changes why wait until the New Year? Deciding to do something then saying to yourself well I will wait until the new year to make these resolutions says two things to me.
First, you are not really serious about the resolutions. Why? If you were, you would make the changes immediately. You would not need a start date.
Second, by giving yourself a start date, is just another means of procrastination and is doomed to fail. Statistics show that most New Year’s resolutions fail by mid February.
If you want to set a goal for yourself or change something in your life then do it when you intuitively feel that it is the right time for you, not when the clock strikes midnight. Following your heart and not a time clock will result in success and a happy life.
I really like the poet’s view to resolution!! yes, I am with you in following your heart and not a time clock :)) . And yes, we do have our goals but we do not always have to wait for the new year to start on it, if we know we should make a change we do it right away or we work our way to achieving that change the moment we acknowledge where we need to improve.
Wishing you a wonderful and prosperous 2009.
I also wanted to say I have cut out cakes and tea with sugar for now and just treat myself every couple of weeks to cake lol.
