Of course there have been times where I have not followed through with them, but that does not make me any less hopeful about making those changes. I just might have to take smaller steps to reach my goals or find a different path to take. But I do not think that they have to be a negative thing or that I am setting myself up for failure by making them. For me it is the opposite. I think they give me something to focus on and to work toward, and when I accomplish that goal that makes me feel good.

I don't think even 50% of the people keep up their new year resolutions... It requires perseverance and commitment to do something and new year is not going to help...
