So I keep getting asked now that it is the first of the year, what is my new years resolution? I am actually wondering at this point why is it so important? I mean don't most people break their resolution within the first couple months? So I guess the question is do you feel its something needed by people. I mean my response is every time I have ever done one I have always broke it so I see just going into this new year with positive thinking and hoping for the best not making goals that I probably won't keep.

I agree completely. Every year countless people make resolutions, mainly because they feel compelled to follow this tradition, but rarely keep the resolution past mid January.
You are unlikely to keep a resolution unless you have a genuine desire to make that particular change in your life. If you do have the desire then you would make that change whatever time of year it is.

I don't make New Years Resolutions anymore because I always broke them in the past.

Yes, I wrote on this too. I just have some goals for the year but I wouldn't call them resolutions, those I can't even get out of January with them in tack.
I think writing your goals down does help you stick to achieving those goals. If you slip a little or don't get the goal done in time. Don't give up, try again or set a new time to get the goal done.
Hope you have a good new year.

I made my own personal "resources" a month prior. You don't need for it to be new years to make a change. The change starts now. So I guess my new years resolution is to simply keep improving on the changes I decided to make haha. I still like to ask what others plan to change, get some inspirational.

There's no harm in trying at least you got some goals at the start of the new year. Giving it up would probably make more depressing.
