New Years Resolutions isn't it the Same year After Year?

i dont have any resolution, i just live from day to day. if i have plans for the new year those are things that i need to achieve or things that i need to persue. like bring my wife and child on disney land. but i dont have any resolutions like losing weight or things like that. those things can be done even it is not a new year. you just need to focus and push yourself and get excited. if a thing bores you then it is hard to get an achievement. goodluck on losing weight.

Hi neededhope, I am actually a huge fan of making New Year's resolutions for myself. I am still sort of young (22) and so haven't had too many years of failed resolutions which could be why, but I like them. I like the idea of a new year being a fresh start, and having a goal for that year. My goal for last year was to get better because a previous goal was to lose weight and I took the bull by the horns and did just that. This year having achieved last years goal I am aiming to finish this year with a job and a house, and if I fail it I will pass the resolution to 2011 because this is vitally important to my state of well being now I believe. After I have managed that though I am not sure if resolutions will be as important since I will run out of meaningful things to do, but I hope I will still enjoy them. I need goals to work towards and resolutions are a good excuse for me to set those goals . All the best, Dranz

I like making New year's resolutions, but I agree that they tend to be the same every year. However, I do think it helps me because I am more motivated to work on things.

When I was in grade school, I made new year's resolution because it was the in thing to do and the teachers made us write about it. Now I'm much much older and I have stopped making new year's resolutions because I don't get to do them anyway. I only make new year's wishes to be safe. But a few year's back I had one resolution which I really did it for a year and that was that. The one I made was not to drink soda for a year and I did it. Well, it was due to my health so I really had to do it. Now, I'm back to drinking soda but not that often. It's not a new year's resolution anymore but yeah more on being responsible for one's self.

in particular, I have never made a resolution a year goals will come, or to evaluate what has been achieved last year ... I am adopts comprehension to let life flow as it is ... This does not mean I don't have hope to improve a better life, only I don't want to care for evaluation or resolution of life

For the last few years it has been the same after years of failure. Not to make a new years resolution for the next year. It tends to get broken. I find that actually making a New Year's Resolution will cause me to lose interest in whatever I am trying to accomplish. Therefore, I just do what I have to do without making any grand plan that is going to broken a few months in anyway.

i don't make new years resolutions because i do not keep them. why bother right

Hi, I absolutely agree with you. Though making resolution on a special day like our birthday or on the very starting of a year makes it sound more important, I think we can make these resolution any time of the year. We often couldn't keep a promise that we make to ourselves, and that is perhaps because we don't provide a mechanism to constantly remind ourselves about the resolution. Take care God bless you

I guess it's the feeling of a fresh start that overwhelms us to make a resolution. I don't have a new year's resolution, too, because it usually ends up as a disappointment to myself...year after year. I make amends any time of the year as it is needed.
