New Years resolution.

I'm sitting here and I'm wondering, what makes a New Years resolution so hard for me to keep at?

I was just reading not that long ago that, should a person have a huge self goal for themselves, they should keep it to themselves because announcing it to other people can give you a feeling of false accomplishment. I guess I agree with this comment in that I find myself falling into this trap quite a bit...talking about future goals and plans for myself. Granted I haven't created my five year plan yet, perhaps because it changes so much. And I suppose potential in a future goal is not as definite as success doing what you said you could do a few months ago and actually doing it.

That's where I land: I want to share my goals, but then I tend to hesitate in telling other people in the case that I do not or cannot follow through. And, as much as people may say they don't need other people in their lives, everyone tends to strive for approval; myself very much so.

I'm very people-oriented.

I like being around people.

I like watching social dynamics between people.

I like people watching.

Needless to say, I go off on tangents quite a bit.

Going back to what I started with, I guess it's safe to say that yes, I guess I create a sort of pseudo-resolution every year. But, I guess I want to try and do it with not telling many people, see if that article is actually right or if it makes any difference to the amount of people I tell-I suppose that in itself is a type of resolution is it not?

CHEERS!

Bottoms up!
