The new year is something to look forward to, yes. But to actually think it is something new for life? I don't think so. Are you really that much more motivated from December 31st to January 1st? I think the new year's resolution is a nice idea, but it sets yourself up for failure because everyone EXPECTS to fall through on their resolutions. When someone fails at keeping their resolutions, they just shrug their shoulders and move on. If you think of it as a renewal process, and actually put more faith in your ability to improve, you might succeed. Though I still think, especially for me, that the "New Year's Resolution" is just seen as unimportant and appropriate to fail with.
For me, I am making a list of things I want to change in the new year. But I am not going into this with a list of unrealistic goals and expectations that I know I cannot meet. I am going in fully armed with education on the topics I want to work on, a support group fully prepared to whoop my butt into gear (literally if necessary), and a can do attitude that will NOT be put on the back burner. Everthing is obtainable and possible, everything will better my life as well as my whole outlook and mood, and everything is something I WANT to do. Not all of these things are things I am willing to share with the world though.
If there is one thing I have learned this year, it is that not everything needs to be shared on a social networking site. I will keep that in mind throughout the upcoming year along with other goals and improvements.
I wish you all luck in your endeavors and dream-chasing in the new year. Just rethink the meaning behind your goals please.
