METRO FORUM

Oops! But its never too late. This is life’s new chance for us to work at those negative qualities again with renewed vigour. So, it is back to making a fresh list of resolutions, probably, with old habits being repeated? Never mind, we could give it a shot.

How many of us think this way. Surely this year too there must be a large number of people that have made resolutions. Now, barely two days into the New Year, wonder how people are sticking to their resolutions? No matter how hard it gets, will they be successful in kicking off their habits? Or… do they just not believe in New Year resolutions at all?

MetroPlus does a reality check and finds there are those that believe in them and those that do not. Some felt there was no need for a special day or time like a new year to start something. If it was really important, then you could start it off right away, the minute you thought of it, there was no need to wait for the so-called right time.

I don’t believe in resolutions. Have never kept them either. I’ve seen my friends keep them and break them.

So what’s the point? I believe in taking life as it comes to me year after year rather than expect something. That has worked for me.

New year resolutions are important. For me it is to prosper financially and to fulfil all my ambitions, to travel abroad, to live a better life... I do not keep a resolution as such but do set certain goals for myself every year, but achieving them all is so difficult.

If something is important and you are sure you have to do it, then you can do it at that very minute. Why should you waste time waiting for a new year? In the past I did keep resolutions, but was so unsuccessful, that I just gave up the idea as it has not worked for me.

I’ve not made any resolutions this year. I used to make them in the past. The worst part was that I could never succeed in keeping them. Then it is all of no use.

I believe if you really want to do something you can do it any time, why wait for a new year?
