A New Years Resolution?

I hope by now your 2012 is off to a roaring start. I hope you are on your way to the gym or on your way to register for that class you have been wanting to take. I recently did some research on the most popular New Years Resolutions. The top ten resolutions for 2012 are as follows:

1)Spend more time with friends and family.

2)Fit and fitness.

3)Tame the Bulge.

4)Quit Smoking.

5)Enjoy life more.

6)Stop smoking.

7)Get out of Debt.

8)Learn something new.

9)Help others.

10)Get organized.

What I found to be fascinating from the previous two years,2011 and 2010 was this. The list did not change at all. What did change was the order in which they were listed. For instance take the number one New Year's resolution for 2012"Spend more time with friends and family". The same resolution for 2010 "Spend more time with friends and family" was number nine out of the top ten New Year's resolution.What does this mean to us right now at this moment?

a) We are creatures of habits - good or bad.

b)We like making New Year's resolutions.

c)What is important to us changes from year to year/month to month/week to week/day to day and even minute to minute.

d)We don't like change even if it's positive.

e)Some of us might be a little lazy when it comes to change.We want the reward but are not willing to do the work.

In closing I am not sure if any of these are on your "to do list for 2012"? I just hope and pray that whatever your plans are for this day and beyond that you always believe in yourself. I also hope that whatever it is your working on that you always give your best effort. Remember after encouraging yourself be willing to encourage others. Let us not always ask "what can I get" but"how can I help"?

Thanks. comments are greatly appreciated.
