New Year's Resolution?



NO THANKS!!! Why should I put off until Thursday at midnight what I can begin right now? I've never really understood the reason for New Year's Resolutions. If you have something you want to change about your life, yourself, etc., why wait? What is the significance of a new year? Time is purely relative. If this "New Year" is such a turning point for everyone, why not have a Jewish New Year Resolution? The Jewish traditions/holidays move on a Lunar calendar, as opposed to our Solar calendar. Let's make resolutions then too. Or how about Chinese New year? We could have three different rounds of New Year's resolutions. Or, if you mess up the first time wait for the NEW "New Year" and just start over when another one rolls around. Oh, you didn't exercise every day last week, like you were supposed to? Oh, no big deal, just start over on the Chinese New Year! Why not have a New Month resolution? New Week?

My point is, why wait? START NOW! If you have identified what you don't like about the way you are living your life, why not begin to change it this minute? This second! New Year Resoluters are just procrastinators! My New DAY resolution is to not be that way.











P.S. Time means nothing . . .
