I’m not a big fan of New Year’s resolutions. Normally when people talk about resolutions I just smile and nod. It’s not that I think resolutions are bad necessarily, I just know that most people won’t keep them.
In fact I’m pretty bad about not keeping my own resolutions. Will this year be any different? That depends on what we resolve to do. When you have unrealistic resolutions, then it’s very easy to fail, and call yourself a failure. But we need to learn to be optimistically realistic.
