Resolutions are a wonderful thing if we can keep them, but many resolutions go by the wayside because we have not done anything different with our mindset.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never really make solid resolutions. I think if there's something one needs to change with oneself, it doesn't have to happen in the New Year.
Sometimes we know the best thing to do, but fail to do it. New year's resolutions are often like that. We make resolutions because we know it would be better for us to lose weight, or get fit, or spend more time with our children. The problem is that a resolution is generally easier to break than it is to keep.
Resolutions are popular because everyone feels they could use a little improvement.
I don't do resolutions, as I am a rebel without a cause in that respect - I always break them by the second of Jan.!
I fear that many a man's good resolutions only need the ordinary fire of daily life to make them melt away. So, too, with fine professions and the boastings of perfection which abound in this age of shams.
New Year's Resolutions come and go. Some we keep, some we don't. In order to make lasting changes in our lives, we must first change our minds. We sometimes forget, and we often feel stuck, but we all have the power to do so.
A New Year's resolution that I can never keep? To be able to make decisions.
For many years, I tried to make New Year's resolutions. I made lists and shot for great heights: I would show altruism and exert moral strength, patience and all those other great attributes.
It is always during a passing state of mind that we make lasting resolutions.
I don't make resolutions, because resolutions seem so ephemeral and transient to go away.
