New Years resolutions

Happy New Year to all my blog readers! I wonder if you’ve made any New Years resolutions this year, and if you have, are they broken yet?

I don’t think that anyone takes New Years resolutions seriously any more, and to be honest neither do I. 

I mean, if it takes a point in the calendar to force you to make a decision, then how motivated were you in making the decision in the first place? I’m not against self-imposed deadlines, they can be very useful, but the problem with New Years resolutions is precisely that they aren’t self-imposed – they are set by an external source.

So, if you’ve set yourself some challenges for the New Year, then good for you, and I hope that it works out for you. But if you have difficulty keeping up to a decision, why not re-set it at a date of significance to you? And there is one date which I think is best for a personal decision. There is just one date that says ‘commitment’ to your own subconscious as well as to other people. 

The date to make a change that matters to you is TODAY.
