Why do we feel a need to re-create ourselves every year?
Think about it. The thought that we are never good enough. That we must pick our vice and correct it with in a year. What does that say about us?
I am all for self improvement…but something about new years resolutions seems so forced to me. Real change has to come from within.
When I lost all my weight (70lbs or so to those out there who don’t know me) I did it because I was pissed. My family was sick from obesity and I was tired. I decided that I would not kill myself. I decided in March. Before Saint Patrick’s day (and green beer is a big deal to us Irish).
Changed can’t be forced. It has to come from within. So I didn’t make a “real” resolution. Not even to lose that last ten pounds. I’ll finish when I’m mentally ready to because that will last longer than any resololution I’ve ever made.
