New Year....New Beginning!

I am not one for making New Year’s resolutions. I suppose I deem it as more of a fad than anything. I have yet to meet a person who has made a resolution at New Year’s and maintained with it. I'm not a pessimist, more a realist, and definitely an optimist. That's why I feel that if you want to make a resolution it should be at any point in the year and certainly not in the spirit of the moment; made and most probably forgotten.

Said that, if you honestly feel you can make a resolution at New Year and uphold with it then you deserve a pat on the back. I pledge no resolutions at New Year. I tend to makes assurance to myself at different point through the year. It is usually following an event, change, an experience, and any other element that may result in constituting a promise. I think about it firmly, make a decree and endorse it. A promise to oneself is equally as important as making one to the Creator. If you cannot keep a pledge made to yourself, how can one hope to achieve the same determination and steadfastness when you have to fulfill the vows made to the Lord?

Resolutions are not just words. They go beyond that and prove a person's character, strength of mind, resilience, buoyancy and mostly a person's veracity.

I generate no specific resolutions this year at this moment but just like the sun rises in clockwork fashion to a new day; a New Year is definitely a New Beginning :)
