Why New Year Resolutions Are So Hared To Keep!

Why New Year resolutions are so hard to keep!

Author: Shekhar
The year is about to change; December is already here and will soon be gone as well, which will bring us to the New Year. The year 2015 will be soon saying hello, and to welcome it we must be prepared. A New Year is like a fresh start, renewed hopes, goals and newfound courage. A place of possibilities, and absolute victory, where I (we all) can win and be the person we wish to be! But these hopes usually lead us to make New Year resolutions.
People start planning their New Year resolutions sometimes right since November while most are seen discussing and sharing resolution plans in the entire month of December. When two close friends talk at a gathering or spouses discuss the coming year or even siblings studying and working in different cities will be often seen discussing their New Year resolutions.
Resolutions are nothing but goals! Goals to reform us and make us individuals we owe (by our own standards) to be and something we may have earlier tried but only given it a half hearted attempt or left it mid way due to circumstances or other needs of the hour. As New Year gives us that new hope we re-determine to fight and become or achieve our goal, which is definitely out of our comfort zone, which is why following through to achieve them is so hard!
