So this is the New Year, and I have no resolutions.

I’ve never really believed in New Years resolutions. Why wait until the very beginning of a new year to make goals and plans to better yourself? You can start “resolutions” at anytime of the year. I also never understood the idea that if you slip up and break the resolution, then all is lost, and you are no longer able to try. A resolution isn’t something that is definite, it’s a goal. If you accidentally smoke that cigarette, or if you (God forbid!) eat something with sugar, not all hope is lost. It was a mistake, and there will be many more, but that doesn’t mean you should completely give up all together.

After thinking about things for the past couple of weeks or so, though, I’ve decided that, no, I have no resolutions, but I do have some goals that I would like to work toward. “Goal” has a more positive connotation than “resolution.” And if I make a mistake, the least I can do is put it behind me and keep working until I reach these goals.
