We all know what a New Year’s resolution is and what its purpose. We write and list down things we want and we don’t want. But commonly, we list down some of the things we want to change from ourselves, especially the attitudes. Say you have been a bad boy that bullies anyone you can for the last year, so you may want to write down on your New Year’s resolution that you will change your attitude of being a bad boy that bullies anyone you can. Say you are always late on your work or in your classes, so you may write or list down that you will change that attitude and try not to be late again at times. Say we you were too spendthrift of your money or allowances, and then you may write that you will spend your money carefully and wisely.
All of us have its own wants and needs to change things from ourselves and the basic thing to do is to have a list of the thing you want to change and that is a New Year’s resolution. But commonly, some of are things-want-to-change didn’t go successfully at the end of the year. Sometimes, we cannot keep those we promised that we list down at the first day of the year. But what are the reasons behind we couldn’t keep our New Year’s resolution?
Too hard. Like I said recently, we may write a lot of things that we want to change to ourselves. Sometimes there comes the impossibility to change one of our attitudes that we had almost a year. So when we write those attitudes and practices because that is not good and we want it to change from ourselves we also facing the fact like that we are throwing away a toy from a kid. And that comes the hardest part of it, you know to yourself that you can’t unchanged such things but as you’ve seen it bad, you wrote down to your New Year’ resolution. Say you are a pro smoker and you always practice to take smoke every day. You used to practiced that last year but as you seen it not good for your health, you write it down to your resolution. But badly, for the first days you can’t resist that attitude and tend to forgot what you wrote.
Lazy. Sometimes we can’t just change such things not because it is too hard to change but we can accept that we are just lazy. We can’t maintain our New Year’s resolution because at the first month of doing those things you wrote, you feel enough laziness to not keep your resolution. You can’t choose things that you will sure do throughout the year and better. Laziness is one of the worst sicknesses of all people that have no cure. We can’t keep our promises just because we are lazy and we can’t help ourselves for that. Say you want to change your attitude of being late always at work or at your classes, sure you can’t keep that if you always feel lazy and always getting from your bed late. That is one example, but there are lot more because laziness is inborn in some people out there.
