With the new year comes new resolutions, whatever they may be. Every January 1st, people all around the world set goals for themselves for the upcoming year. And while I haven't conducted any research, I think it's a fair assumption to say that not many of these goals are met. My problem with this is twofold. First, you're setting a goal for an entire year - that seems too daunting - set a goal one day at a time and work little by little to achieve your goal. Speaking of one day at a time, that is my second problem with New Year's Resolutions. Why do we set resolutions on only one day of the year? As I was watching the New Year's Celebration last night on NBC, around 11:56, Taio Cruz started singing John Lennon's "Imagine," which the playing of has been a tradition in Times Square. And Carson Daly was saying how the mood was turning a little somber, but that's because of the lyrical power and beauty of the song, and how it makes you think about life and what's going on in our world today. Here's the thing...we can't be thinking about the world once a year. We can't be thinking about our lives once a year. This has to happen every day. Every day has to be an opportunity to work towards fulfilling your life. It will improve your life, the lives of the ones around you, and ultimately, the lives of everyone, if you think about your life each day.
And the world will live as one.
