The New year is a great time to embark on something new such as Gym, lose weight, giving up meat, becoming more caring, giving up smoking and the list goes on. This is an admirable thing to do as any change for the better is good, moreover any change indicate the presence of life so change is good.
However, I have a slight issue with attaching your efforts to the fact that the calendar has changed date, since the calendar does that every single day. Sure January first is a memorable date, but most resolutions grow weaker and weaker as the month of January goes on. This is why the Gym campaign for members intensify in January. You feel guilty for overindulgence make a crazy decision to enter a 12 month contract with the GYM turn up for one month and you know the rest. This is exactly what happens with all other resolution, Guilt followed by an unrealistic commitment.
Though the new year may work for some, believe me it will not work for the vast majority. Since Christ is a constant, I believe that the best way to seal your desires and realise your resolutions is to place them firmly in the Hands of GOD and NOT in the fact that it is a New Year.
My prayer is that you and yours will have a great new year, and that the very best of your 2010 becomes the very least of your 2011.
