It’s yet
another new year’s eve, according to Gregorian Calendar that is. All around the
globe people from different countries, cultures, ages, beliefs and religions will be celebrating. Many of them
will be making new year’s resolutions, with good intentions when making
these resolutions and unfortunately majority of them fail. The pop ten resolutions that
fail are
- Lose Weight and Get Fit
- Quit Smoking
- Learn Something New
- Eat Healthier and Diet
- Get Out of Debt and Save Money
- Spend More Time with Family
- Travel to New Places
- Be Less Stressed
- Volunteer
- Drink Less
Making
changes are I believe are all about paradigm shift (or revolutionary science)
is, according to Thomas
Kuhn, in his
influential book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962), a change in the basic
assumptions, or paradigms, within the ruling theory of science. In order to change a paradigm I firmly
believe that you need awareness of the present status of the resolution,
acknowledge its’s effects on you, assess the level of commitment needed to
achieve your targets and finally ask yourself if you are prepared to do what’s
required. When you paid your dues, then and only then you’ll get what you
deserve and be able to appreciate the results of the changes you made.
In my humble opinion I think resolutions are about making changes happen when you are ready and making changes for yourself. It doesn't really matter when you decide to make the changes so you'll know when it's the right time. You'll know when it's time to cease the day, when it's time to act on love, when it's time to be there for a friend, when it's time to be yourself, when it's time to be the nice guy, when it's time to be one of many nameless heroes.
So take it easy and enjoy your new years eve. You really don’t need to rush. I'll see you around!
