Every year, millions of people gather around television sets to watch a giant ball slowly fall to the world’s most famous countdown. For one night, the entire nation watches the our favorite television stars as they ring in the biggest party of the year. The annual ritual is a constant reminder of new beginnings and serves as the perfect chance to drop old habits and adopt a fresh mindset for the next 12 months.
By midnight on Dec. 31, we’ve decided to lose that extra weight, spend less money, spend more time with God and let go of those nagging little tendencies that have plagued us until this momentous occasion. Despite our collective enthusiasm, January comes and goes and our pledges for new lifestyles slowly fade, and by the time spring roles around, we’re back to our old routine. The next year comes and our habits remained unchanged.
By now we should have come to realize that our goals cannot be kept without some form of accountability. So this year's New Years resolution is to succeed. To succeed at anything I decide to do this coming year and to be accountable to it.
:: those who say it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing it ::
