New Year's Considerations
Posted on: 22 Dec, 2009 06:01 PM GMT
It's that time of year. No, I don't mean Christmas time, rather I'm talking about the New Year. It's time for those New Year's resolutions. Resolutions are all of those things we promise to ourselves when we resolve to do this and that as we look forward to the coming year. However, before I scheme about the future I like to reflect upon the past: What has transpired over this past year? Which resolutions have I met, and how have I come up short on those I did not meet? In short, not only is New Year's a good time to look forward to things to come, but also to take stock of where we are at in life. As we pause to consider such heavy thoughts, it's good to keep in mind how the rest of the world has fared.

I agree that the end of the year is a good time for reflection. I've heard it's best to do it everyday, but time moves funny day by day. Not until all the days are gone do we realize they passed!
I had a lot of big changes this year, including starting a life on EnglishCafe.
In the future, I hope to continue my battle with procrastination and win a few more fights.

This time of year is a good time for reflexions, looking back
for what we acheived.
Also we have to be aware time don't wait us, it flyes without our
permision...So, we have to make clear what we want for next year
and take action .... it sounds simple.?....but we have the
strenght
to make it that way, don't we?
Best wishes for 2010!

I'm not sure it's simple, but I think you're right about the plan of action.
Thank you for your wishes, and best wishes to you as well for the new year of the next decade.
