i normally don't make

new year's resolutions. i'm not sure why really. maybe because 90% of them people don't stick with by the end of January. this is quite cynical thinking for me actually...i'm normally positive when someone sets a goal and plans to see it through. but there's something about new year's resolutions that always have me keep my distance.

i'm a huge believer that people can change almost anything in their life if they seek God's guidance in it...of course it has to be in His will...but for things like changing bad habits, altering a social behavior or adjusting a lifestyle, it can be done with Him.

so knowing this, why don't i make resolutions? who cares if it is cliché. who cares that the majority of people have the same ones...so this year i made my first new year's resolution in years.

but i'm doing this with the thought that everyday we should have these goals...everyday we should be looking in our lives and realize that there's always room to grow, change, expand, and explore.

so why do we wait for a new year to do this? what's wrong with March 15th, or June 19th, or October 26th...or any other day for that matter?

There are people in this life that are constantly changing themselves. They are not afraid of change, that are always up for a good challenage in themselves, to better themselves. Others not so much...what seems to get them is the idea of another year gone, analysis the things they could do better, and see the new year as an opportunity to improve. I normally don't make new years resolutions either. mainly because i'm the type of that's ever changing...but i don't see it as a bad thing. since bettering yourself...how can that be bad? the only thing is that most people try and don't succeed and then get discouraged. Remember this, it takes 30 days to make a habit. A good habit. A bad habit. Don't be discourged when it's taking you many years to form the habit that you wish to change. Keep moving forward!

So what's your new years resolution Kee Bug? LOL
