Have you ever made a new year's resolution? If yes, has any of your yearly resolutions ever come to pass? And if no, why is making new year's resolution not a such a big deal to you?
So many people hardly go into a new year without making new resolutions for the year. You would see them talking enthusiastically about what they would hope to accomplish in the year and the things they intend to devote more of their time on or erase completely from their lives. And with the sort of excitement they talk about these things and jot them down you would think they would as the new year starts counting they would immediately start doing whatever is necessary to enable them accomplish their resolutions, but that is usually not the case.
A great number of the people indulging in the ritual of yearly resolution making seem to forget such resolutions before the end of the first month of the new year. Why is it so?
To most of such people, making yearly resolutions is like a ritual that they must do. It's just like making a wish. A wish is a desire you have that is left to fate. This is what making a resolution is to most people. It is a wish that they hope fate would make happen that is why most people do nothing about their resolutions after making them.
Besides, making resolutions sometimes make us feel good and gives us something to hope for or look forward to in the new year even if we may have no intention of seeing that we work towards making our resolutions materialize. But, are resolutions wishes that should be left to fate?
Resolutions are desires, expectations, improvements or changes that an individual hopes to make to his/her life within a given timeframe after due assessment of the state of his/her life. Resolutions can be made at any time and it can be given any timeframe.
The yearly resolution making ritual is quite common because it involves the coming of a new year and this gives most people a good opportunity to assess their lives and accomplishments in the out going year and decide the changes or improvements they would love to make in the new coming year. Though, most people hardly do proper soul searching and self-assessment before making their resolutions, and this is one of the major reasons why most people forget the new year resolutions they've made even before the end of the first month of the new year.
Some one once said that: "if something you desire is very much important to you, you would ensure that you find out what it would take to have it and be prepared to carry it out to the latter."
Even though most people's resolutions may seem very important to them, most of them are not prepared to do what it would take to make such resolutions materialize. Some don't even know what they're supposed to do in order for them to have their resolutions accomplished. That's why they keep repeating the same resolutions every year.
Listen, there's no gain in making resolutions if you would not do what it requires to make it materialize. Resolutions are not wishes, they are your expectations for the coming or new year, but when you do nothing about them you turn them to wishes and you know what? Wishes are nothing but mere words without any power or force to cause any change.
So if you must see your 2021 resolutions come to manifestation at the end of the year, you must be willing to do whatever it would take or pay whatever price it would cost you to have them in your hands.
Happy new year!
