Easy To Set But Difficult To Stick To New Year’s Resolution


Everybody talks about setting New Year’s resolution whenever a brand-new year is approaching. Many a time, people will come out with a long list of goals for themselves to achieve in the New Year.

What people will normally set as their New Year’s resolution are things like getting rid of bad habits, doing more exercise to keep fit, quitting smoking, learning new skills, earning more money, getting rid of being late, writing a book, scoring better results in their studies, learning to play golf, getting a driving license, learning a foreign language and the list goes on……..

However, when you ask these people to make a summary of what they have achieved at the end of the year, I think not many of them would be able to tell you boldly that they have realised most if not all of their New Year’s resolution. In other words, they are not sticking to their New Year’s resolution to realise them.

Probably, these people will find some excuses for themselves by putting off the New Year’s resolution till the next New Year. But the thing is that there is always a New Year. If they were to push back their New Year’s resolution to the next year, then those goals that they wish to achieve will never end. They will forever have a long and unfinished list of goals to meet. 

So, what is the point of setting New Year’s resolution if we cannot fulfill the tasks and achieve our goals then? I think it won’t make us feel good by doing ourselves too much lip services but without actually taking any action to make things happen.

Besides being lazy, I believe the biggest problem lies with most people is something called PROCRASTINATION. So, if you don’t want to be a procrastinator, you would better stick to your New Year’s resolution and start working to realise your dreams.
