New resolutions!reality or phantom

Like they say all good things must come to an end,and great beginings start from somewhere. Yes 2010 was an eventfull year for most people (myself inclusive),but it had its own drag and not so eventfull occurences which include the bomb blast in nigeria,civil riots in ivory coast and a host of other sad stories i really don't want to discuss here(may be  some other time). In general it wasn't such a bad year for most people.

Well as the new year begings we see ourselves making new resolutions we hope to abide by as the new year kicks into full swing. The question is how many of us really adhere to such resolutions through out the year?yes i will stop smoking this year,no,i won't drink alcohol this year and the list goes on,but by the time we get into the next month,we are back to square one.Doing exactly those same things we said we would stop.Sometimes we see ourselves even getting worse than we were the previous year,drinking more than we did last year,smoking more sticks and so on and so forth.Well this is were i come in,i dont make new year resolutions anymore. Why?you may ask,but the answer is simple.IT DOES NOT WORK FOR ME. What i do is i simply write down my strenghts and my weaknesses for the last year,analyse them and see how i can be a better man the coming year.I set feasible and achievable task/goals for myself and work towards achieving them,pray ernestly for God's intervention in my life and that of my family and his guidiance in all my activity. Yes it might sound like a work over but it ain't.It takes discipline and dedication to make it work.

So people,if you must make a new year resolution every coming year then don't make at all,instead look inwards and discover yourself and your potentials and find ways to harness them and build on them till you become the man/woman you want to be. Learn like there was no tomorrow,be inquistive,ask questions,live life,make mistakes,love and strive towards perfection all in a gradual sequence and set a target/goal that you know you can achieve, and pray to God for wisdom,knowledge and understanding. HAPPY NEW FOLKS,God bless.
