The "Every Year Resolution's Concept"


'Resolutions,' seems to be a life theory that hasn't stood the test of time. It has become a concept that's based on trends; a feeling of the moment; a must do, of sorts. Towards the end of every year, I always seem to reflect on the last 364 days, and why, because every ad and slogan prods me toward reflection. Then comes the nagging question, "What are your plans for the next year? Translation----> "Are you going to do anything better with your life this year?" Does writing a plan on paper necessarily determine success, make me keep the speed limit, tithe, or send out birthday cards, and make that one phone call I've been putting off? I believe resolutions are an art form to judge creativity and originality. Case and point: It is inevitable that resolutions that are set will be destined to fail within the first week or so. I would love to have a crosstalk with any person who has managed to keep up with their Bill of Resolutions.
