The Truth About New Year’s Resolutions

Are they worth anything as we typically do them? I rather doubt it.

What do you think of when you hear or read the words “New Year’s Resolution” these days? A promise to overall be better, to do new things with your life? Or do you think of a failure to do better, based on what the new year itself gives you to work with?

Please don’t take this the wrong way, everyone, but there’s absolutely no way that you can keep all your New Year’s resolutions. I’m saying this because it’s happened to me so many times, with so few of my attempts working properly, which sucks.

Now, I’m sure you’re going to ask, so I’ll tell you what I resolve to do in the new year each time I foolishly make a resolution that spans the entire year.

1. Lose my excess body fat.
2. Continue my education past my High School Diploma.
3. Work on making a computer RPG of some sort.
4. Plan and write an epic novel series that would sell a bunch more copies than the Wheel of Time at present.

Of course, I did not mean for the above list to be in exact order, but the point remains the same. Those are the four big resolutions that I want to have true each year that I attempt this.
