The word “resolution” has the sound of an impossible-to-keep solemn promise.  Whether it’s from years of failure to keep them, or an actual quality of the word, I’m not sure.  But I make goals instead… not just on the New Year, but all year round.  Also, the nice thing about goals is that you don’t have to start running from the gate, so to speak. They’re something to aspire to, something to work towards.  The start/end of the year is but a neat little checkpoint.

Good luck on all of your aspirations!
