Happy 2007 to All!
Happy New to all! May your 2007 be a good one!
Usually during December or early January, almost every one of us is minted up by a fanatical wish to map out a wonderful New Year ahead of us! We arrange for vacations, and we envisage that any goal can be achieved. Just like what Joey told me, she wanted to complete all her out-standing assignments before 2007. And that is part of her 2006 resolution, the last one that she made.
We eagerly make New Year’s Resolutions and set our biggest and smallest goals ever! I hope its not small to that extend that would hamper your desire and will to achieve what you want. It’s a perfect time to reflect on the changes we want to or need to make and resolve to follow through on those changes.
Resolutions if carried out successfully not only act as short-term goals to achievement but also help in enhance life and conquer that dependency, which we ourselves abhorred.
The untoward authenticity, of course, is that for most people the year goes by with little or no change. We do our jobs and live our lives, but our dreams don’t come true. That sucks right! Knowing that you have planned and work hard for it and yet none came true!
Like Joey wanted to be a Tai-Tai and princess at the same time. In which the latter was realised. She was the princess in my studio, and the one that Christine and I protect and adore. Christine, she always wanted to be a good mum, which she did! She’s our beloved Queen in our studio. As for me, sigh, I wish I have the ability to eat as much wonderful gourmet and keep my shape the way I want. Nope, I doubt so, not for the latter at least for the moment.
Some things do change, but life doesn’t seem all that different. Not really. Not like we hoped. The tradition of taking a resolution at New Year and fulfil it in the coming year, dates back to the early Babylonians. The Babylonians believed that what a person does on the first day of the New Year will affect him or her throughout the year. Popular modern resolutions might include the promise to lose weight or quit smoking. The early Babylonian’s most popular resolution was to return borrowed farm equipment. New Year’s Resolutions offer the first of many important tools for remaking ourselves.
The New Year is a good time to make resolutions but what is the point of resolutions if we can’t keep them? Here are some tippers that can me hope it’s useful to you, at least I hope.
TIPS FOR NEW YEAR RESOLUTION
REVIEW YOUR LAST YEAR’S RESOLUTION.
Have you succeeded, if not, why you failed. Examine it and if necessary keep the same resolution this year too.
SET YOUR GOALS
Maintain a core focus. Be clear if you really want the change. Don’t flow along with the trend.
DON‘T LET THE CUP SPILL OVER
Do not create too many resolutions at a time. They may distract you. Go with one at a time.
LET IT BE FOR A YEAR NOT A DAY
New Year is the time to plan for the entire year. Let the resolution not be something for which you need just couple of days.
ACKNOWLEDGE THE PRICE, AND DECIDE TO PAY
Any worthwhile human achievement requires sacrifice, risk, effort and perseverance. Of course it does! This is how life works! And, you must pay the full price in advance! Be accountable to some one in case you don’t follow your resolution seriously.
REMINDERS
sometimes it’s easy to forget the resolution after the New Year euphoria passes away, and one is tempted to postpone the resolution to the next year. Plan to remind yourself of it throughout the year. Make a mention of it in the diary, online reminders or if required inform people close to you about your resolution.
STRENGTHS, WEAKNESS, OPPORTUNITIES & THREATS
Enhance your strengths, act against your weakness, see what and how you can utilize the opportunities for the year and see if you have to prepare yourself against any threats.
PAMPER YOURSELF
Keep a gift for yourself wrapped beautifully and gift it to yourself if you accomplish your resolution at the end of the year.
TOP FIVE NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS:
I will take a good care of my health and will be fit the whole year.
I will enjoy my life more, be optimistic and happy.
I will be more helpful to others and spend some part of my earnings in charity.
I will be organized and disciplined. I will go early to bed and also wake up early.
I will spend more fruitful time with my family and good friends and will make every effort to make them happy.
SOME OTHER NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS YOU WILL LOVE:
To trim down having fast or junk food and stick to food having good nutrients.
