My New Years Resolution

Why are resolutions saved for the last day of the year? Why not make resolutions every day or week? I finally figured it out, if we made resolutions or "self promises" on other days of the year then we would all feel more guilty when we don't fulfill them. I mean think about it one day one 24 hour day out of the 365 days in our year we stop and look back and think "hmm.. what should I do different this time around??", ACTUALLY NO scratch that we think " hmm.. what do I want so badly to do different but not really accomplish this year?" This tradition of new year resolutions is getting pretty old to me because we all know that almost no one really follows through with them so what is the point? I feel as though these so called resolutions are just a whole set up, I know I may sound crazy but lets really stop and think for a moment, when was the last time you reached your resolution. In fact I don't even know what my 2013 resolution was, do you?



Now I know this little rant of mine wasn't all that upbeat but life just happens to be that way sometimes. I think this year we shouldn't make a resolution for ourselves. I think we need to stop and reflect on the pain our world has endured this past year and make a promise to not only ourselves but to your neighbors, your family, your friends, your entire society to change and be better. Lets stop making empty promises. Lets stop making these resolutions with no intent of keeping them. Lets all just vow to be a better person, to be a better world.
