Resolution

‘I make no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning and moulding my life, is too much of a DAILY event for me!’ - Anais Nin

As the calendar moves to a New Year, a familiar ritual makes its annual appearance in our lives – the ritual of making New Year resolutions. The most popular resolutions range from breaking of flawed habits to the pledge to inculcate desirable habits…

Resolutions range from putting the bulge in to bringing the biceps out, from vows of self improvement to socio-centric commitments, from pledges to grow your enterprise or your assets, from committing to sustainable environment to serving the underserved…

Though born of sincere intent, many resolutions remain unfulfilled or abandoned by the very minds that invoke them. Oft the process is just a mechanical ritual that will not complete its path. We need to re-invent our approach to a well-meaning exercise.

A resolution isn't realised the day it's made, nor is it realised the day we reach our goal. It is accomplished in small wins along the way. So it is not wise to only wait for occasions to make and work on resolutions.

Simply put, every moment that flags off the journey to fulfil a worthy resolve, heralds the beginning of a New Year in our lives. Like Anais Nin says, resolutions must be a daily thing. And we can choose to make each day bring along a new year in our lives.

Don’t wait for an occasion for action

Today is good to begin a resolution!
