 New Year Resolutions

At midnight, after screaming “happy new year”, hugging my friends and enjoying the fireworks; my friend turned to me and asked “What’s your new year resolution ?”. I looked at her and said “I am tired of making a new year resolution every year and quitting after a while, this year no resolutions for me” I now realize this may be the saddest thing ever. How can a person even outgrow new year resolutions? I look back at that night today and finally decide to correct my mistake. If I make it before January ends, it still counts right? The reason why new year resolutions are important is because they can provide clarity for our goals. Clarity I realize is what I lacked. Time to make up for it now I guess. Goals may be short term or long term. Your goal may be important to you while it may not be significant to others. Example, my goal for today was to drink 8 glasses of water. It may seem minor to others but all the same, it was a big deal for me. Even so, making drinking 8 glasses of water your new year resolution is a tad ambitious; even for me. New Year Resolutions are supposed to be grand, something unthinkable, almost unattainable. Every year, my new year resolution as a child used to be that I would improve my handwriting. It may seem trivial but to be fair, the way my teachers taunted my writing; It would have been something unthinkable, truly a grand affair, something unattainable. Unfortunately, only one of the three qualities of the new year resolution applied to this resolution. It was unattainable. As a young adult, when I look back at this childhood resolution that I gave up on after barely 2 weeks of trying. I make my first new year resolution of the year 2024 on 31 January, that I will never give up on my new year resolutions. No matter how immature it may seem. I will never underestimate the power of new year resolutions and I will do my best to do justice by them.
