My New Years' Resolution

 

                LOL definitely kidding!  I don’t believe in New Years’ resolutions at all, mostly because they have become the big joke of the New Year in America, maybe even the whole world.  One of the most common New Years’ resolutions is to lose weight.  This turns out to be very annoying for me, because I enjoy going to the rec center to play basketball and lift weights etc.  However, at this time of year it is very clogged there, because all these obese people are there for their New Years’ resolution, even though there are barely any exercises cream-puffed enough for them that they can scrape together to call a workout.

                Besides annoying obstacles like this, there are more reasons why I dislike New Years’ resolutions.  First of all, I think that a good, quality person should try to be their best and improve themself every day of the year, not just at the beginning, and quit when the first thing gets a little hard.  Sure, it’s fine to set a good goal for yourself, but why do you have to limit yourself to doing this once a year?  How many people do you see walking around in March or later that are still fulfilling their New Years’ resolution?  Not many.  You only hear about them for a couple weeks in January, and then most people stop.  If you do really want to do a New Years’ resolution, then okay, no one is stopping you, but make sure you really commit to it.  Then, in December, tell me about how you’re about to complete it.  

                There is nothing magical about New Years’ resolutions.  They aren’t going to get accomplished by themselves just because you made them around January 1st.  If you feel like you need some extra magic to accomplish your goals, it would probably be better to go to a Church, Mosque, Synagogue, or anywhere else to ask God to give you a little help.  He will listen and help you any minute of any day.  

                So, in conclusion, what I’m telling you is don’t make a New Years’ resolution.  Instead, try to make yourself better every day, maybe try to go a whole day without making any mistakes.  It’s something few people have done.  The way to start is to get up early, start being ridiculously generous to all people around you, and focus on what you can be doing to make yourself better and make the world a better place.  String a few days like this together, and you’ll never need a New Years’ resolution again!!
