New Year's Resolution

Every 365 days, the general population takes part in a celebration of the New Year. Groups of people gather to remember the passing of time and the forgiving of past wrongs, as well as the hope of how a new year can affect one’s life positively. Of those who take part of the celebration, many make a declaration of their hopes for the New Year. Whether this list is physical or just mental, they each make their own New Year’s Resolution. Resolutions often include hopes to lose weight, as well as to kick habits, like smoking. The terrible irony surrounding Resolutions is that many times the hopes of the individual go forgotten without much, if any, action taken toward achieving them. They become lost in the confusion of one’s daily life. The urge to better oneself that shone through so clearly around January 1st is pushed aside soon after to make room for more important things. Don’t here me say that Resolutions are bad things. I believe that it is good to set goals for yourself. Plus, Resolutions show a great characteristic about anyone, that they are able to see faults in themselves. Rather than say Resolutions have been pointless for millions before you and not to waste your time, I encourage you to make one or more Resolutions and stick to them. Following through with them will also build character in you, perseverance and responsibility. Go ahead and make your Resolutions. Follow them, wherever they may take you. As one year passes and another begins, remember to work to better yourself, live in every moment, and love through all the time you are given. Look Out for my Next Post, Benjamin Hudson
