HAPPY NEW YEAR!
To all my friends, let me begin with my Season's Greetings and best wishes for a Happy New Year! Although the date for New Year's Day is not identical in every community, this is always a time for celebration and exchanging good wishes.
Clearly, the New Year's day celebrates the passage of time. It is a time to reflect on the year gone by and set an agenda for the year ahead. For many, this is the occasion to re-evaluate, and set future goals. Promises are made for self-improvement with little intention of keeping them. Here is a sampling of the responses that I got to my query on the resolutions people are planning for the New Year.
1. I'm going to focus on my job do everything to keep it.
2. It's time for me to turn spiritual and learn the Bhagavad Gita.
3. Cooperate and live harmoniously with my husband.
4. Let me think of organizing my library of books, tapes, and CDs.
5. I want to come out of my shell and discover hidden talents.
6. It's time for me to learn how to play golf.
7. I want to examine my financial status and plan new investments.
8. Last year was no good. I am hoping to lose weight in 2008.
9. My goal is to help energy conservation. I will use the car less per week.
10. Get out of bed within 10 minutes of when my alarm clock goes off.
11. I want to change my career path into a new line of activity.
12. No resolution — I'll just continue to be my normal self!
Does any of these resonate with your own New Year resolution?
Well. the most important aspect of making a New Year's resolution is to keep it.
But, keeping at bay the dissolution of resolutions is not an easy task.
For a great many people, the New Year's resolutions do not succeed. There may be several reasons for this but I think any failure should be viewed as an opportunity to learn. Who knows, with some planetary forces working in your favour, you can really make your resolutions come true this coming year. Good Luck to you!
