Rebranded Resolutions

Just before you venture into a new year with a new set resolutions (or maybe not, if you haven't made any). There's this whole lot of buzzing about this resolution of a thing that it has almost become a routine every year ( if not even 'ritual').

When someone asks, what are your new year resolutions, two things come to my mind. One, and certainly the fairest, that the person cares enough to know if I'm prepared for the year ahead of me, or two, the person is just caught up in the spirit of the season.

Well, I don't think resolutions are necessarily made only in December. Really? Yes! I just can't wait until the end of a year to change my course of steer if need be. I'm not saying there's something wrong about making December resolutions. As a matter of fact, a lot of people see the end of the year as a period to reminisce and reposition. Then, good.

My point is, you can push the restart button anytime in the year ahead when you feel you're doing things or taking decisions that will definitely not take you where you really are going. So just get in the mood for another December period when you need new resolutions whether the calendar says March or August. The only difference will be that you aren't sacrificing a chicken ( as it is in December)

More importantly, to help yourself stick to your personal commitments for the time frame, it is important to do frequent reviews to ensure, in the end, that you get what you bargained.

A true resolution is more than a pen-paper deposition, but a resolute goal imprinted in the mind that causes you to take actions.

Wishing you a year of fulfilled goals ahead.
