Just What You Want To Be You Will Be In The End

So everyone makes New Year's resolutions, right? We all want to be smarter or thinner or richer or more lucky in love....but how many resolutions have been broken already? We're not quite halfway through the first month of 2006 and I bet more have been broken than kept. Is it that we lack the will power to change or is it that we resolve to change the wrong things? Do we subconsiously set ourselves up for failure? Really, think about it......we might resolve to lose 10 or 20 pounds....and then what? You reach that goal and then where do you go with that? You might resolve to find that "special" someone....join all the right dating services....try all the hot internet chat rooms....but then wonder why , once you find them, that relationship fizzles too. Could it be that what you needed to change was your attitude? Remembering to smile when you talk to someone, looking at them when they speak to you, asking questions instead of making assumptions.......no one ever resolves to do those things, but yet maybe that's what we need to do. Maybe if we were more specific....and honest....with ourselves about who we want to be and what we want to acomplish, we would be more successful. Maybe, just maybe, we would surprise ourselves with what already lies within.
