For those of you who made New Year’s resolutions, I wish you the best of luck with them. As for me, I swore them off a long time ago.
When I was much younger, I made resolutions every year. And every year, I broke each and every one of them. So I decided to try making resolutions that were the opposite of what I really wanted to accomplish. For example, if I wanted to lose weight, I would resolve to gain weight. But that didn’t work out as planned, either.
So for the past few years, I haven’t made any resolutions whatsoever. No promises to myself to get in better shape, or get an online bachelor degree, or give more to charity. It has worked out pretty nicely, because I haven’t had to deal with the disappointment of not reaching my goals.
Yes, I know, goals are important if you want to get anywhere in life. But especially right now, I just don’t have the energy to even make them, much less try to reach them. I’m working on it, though. Really, I am.
