Have you already thought about your New Year's Resolution for 2010?

I don't really believe in New Year's Resolutions. I think most people like to make them but a few follow through. I also like to think, well, why wait for a New Year to start doing something different? Anyway, I don't really set resolutions for myself. I set goals and think about things that I'd like to accomplish but I don't wait for a New Year to do it. So, with that said, I don't have a 2010 Resolution. Anyone already has one?

I don't really make new years resolutions. I make goals (things I'd like to accomplish in that year.) I feel like doing it that way I'm more likely to try to work towards these things. Like each year I say I'd like to read a certain number of books and try to reach it. Or I'd like to exercise more or start going to the gym, etc. I try to make my goals obtainable so that I'm encouraged to actually accomplish these things! I honestly haven't thought too much about 2010 yet, but eventually I will write up some goals for things to accomplish over the next year!

I feel the same way as you do. I don't really look at resolutions or think about them for myself. I do write up goals just as you do but I wouldn't look at them as resolutions.

since it would be the same one i make every year and never keep i think i will just not bother with resolutions anymore. what i will do is try to improve on things and do better than i did the year before but i will not commit to one particular thing and set myself up for failure.

I agree. That's why I don't believe in resolutions, I just believe in setting goals and trying to improve in areas where you can. Thanks, mikeysmom!

I don't do New Year's Resolutions as well. I tend to be very critical, especially to myself. There's just too many things that I need to change and improve on, so I try to change them as soon as I can. What is important is that we have an attitude for change and improvement. It doesn't matter if it's Christmas or New Year or any ordinary day, as long as we change ourselves for the better. It doesn't always have to be big or grand. When the little things add up, it grows to as big as it can get.

We sound very similar. Yes, I try to keep my guard on my attitudes and bad habits and I don't have the tendency to wait until some special occasion to change. Very nice comment :-)

For me listing down New Year's resulotions is useless when you are not willing to change but if you really are willing to change the worst you to a new you its not necessarily wait for a New Year to come you can change it right away if you are willing to

You're spot on! "Useless when you are not willing to change" - exactly!

Hello rg. First I am happy to say that I have made some achievements in my personal work and business in 2009. One is the first place my students have got in the speech competition. I am their trainer. The other is my passing the test for a certificate I expect. These two things added together make me on top of the world. As to the resolution for 2010, I think that I will try to get another certificate by taking the exam with my effort. That will be my major one for next year.
