New Year doesn't need resolutions!

Resolution. Revolution. Renovation.

Sounds similar!

No. Not particularly.

Read again.

Resolution. Revolution. Renovation.

Yes. I agree.

They are different.

But they are inter-connected, when it comes to making resolutions.

When I was a kid and people used to ask me my new year resolution, I used to fiddle with these words in my mind and then used to bounce same question on many, though the word used to be generally ‘revolution’ because that was the easiest for me to remember due to my history chapter ‘revolution of 1857-India’ and somehow I used to link both the words together, getting confused and confusing the other person as well.

Never did I care till I really understood these words.

But when I dig these words a bit deeper – Does Resolution not need a whole lot of Revolution in our attitude and Renovation of our thought process to take the huge step of changing a habit which is sticking with us for god knows since how long!

Yes, what I think is that this process is –

First, we resolve to solve our present problems which are by products of our past habits. Deeper down in our consciousness we know that we are lacking behind and we may be blaming x,y,z  I mean ANYBODY but ourselves. 

As a result, all this clutter of laziness keeps piling up year after year. Some of us carry on like this and just make a fancy fashionable resolution which lasts for a few days or a few weeks at the most from the date and drink of our New Year bash, and it needs a real revolution to kick this garb off our shoulders.

Then, we need to renovate our chipping old lazy attitude which is stinking and peeling off our personality and yielding no results with fresh paints of thoughts to make our future brighter and shinier.

But before that, a good amount of hard scrubbing is required on the surface of our soul and thinking to shake ourselves off the old self.

And last but not the least important is making the revolution of getting into action gear and achieving our targets and sticking to them first thing in the morning when we open our eyes and last thing when we close our eyes to sweet dreams.

Writing down the goals helps but most important is to keep focused and keep reminding on every first of the month that we have a path to follow and a destination to reach.

Every day, whatever we do will decide on the 31^st of this year, where we stand. 

So New Year does not need resolutions to proceed; we need revolution of our attitude to get going to achieve something better and brighter and renovate our  present which will be our past and will trail towards our future.
