Though in past years I’ve made quite a few new year resolutions, I am not in the habit of making them nowadays.
The chief reason is that I have never been able to keep one well for an entire year. I believe the longest period of time I’ve kept one is about three months or so, and I am quite certain the actual duration might be a lot shorter.
So why make resolutions that I know I can never keep, eh?
Just a day more, and soon the new year will be upon us. What has 2007 been like for you? What has 2007 brought about in you? These are questions I’m sure most of us would ask ourselves either today or the eve of the new year. And I’m sure that there’d be many who will be making new year resolutions too.
This past year hasn’t been a great one for me in terms of success as the world defines it. There has been no breakthrough career-wise, much less financially. In fact, quite the opposite has happened — I’ve seen a fall in my take-home income and seem to be stagnant in terms of career advancement. There have also been some difficulties that had me tossing and turning in bed, worrying about this issue or that problem.
