So every year, approximately right after Christmas, you see all the Facebook statuses, tweets and Myspace updates,when it was poppin', saying, "New Year, New Me!" Yeah, freaking right!! Chances are, that by the second week of January, the "new you" will have forgotten all of your resolutions and the "new you" will have flopped.
Just like in elementary school when the teachers forced you to write a New Year's Resolution you now think up a bunch of new traits and lies that you magically want to transform yourself into the during the upcoming year. To be more honest, go to the gym more and eat healthier, stop procrastinating, stop cursing so much, go to church more, stop drinking (LIES.COM), tweet less and focus more. But who are you really fooling?
Hoping that you'll wake up on January 1st with "a new refreshed attitude" is stupid. For one, you can wake up any day with "a new refreshed attitude", if you really put your mind to it. New Year, New Beginnings. Yes this is true, in a sense, but everyday is a new beginning and a chance to straight over fresh and to fix any mistakes that you've made the night before. But at the same time WHY wait for the new year to make these changes? Why not start NOW as you're sitting down and writing your "resolutions". Make your today be better than your yesterday and start fresh from now. I think that it's a bit unrealistic and kind of stressful to put that on yourself trying to think you can make a 180° turn when you need plenty of time. Especially if you're just gonna end up not even fulfilling them.
I know I probably sound harsh and make it seem like there is no hope for the human race but I am just being rational but if you are going to actually make a New Year's Resolution please be smart about it and make it something that you can actually do. Make it something that is realistic and don't just use the new year to just come up with how the NEW you should be. Be honest with yourself and don't make any false hopes..
Follow your dreams, work hard, practice and persevere. Make sure you eat a variety of foods, get plenty of exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
