New Year Resolutions

It's the time of New Year and everyone is taking resolutions and showing them off as tweets or Facebook posts. The resolutions are born mostly as a result of the trend and not what it actually was intended for. But what do we care, each and everyone of us will break them sooner or later. So what if we don't start following it from the beginning itself and just write it down on my wall just because all our friends are writing something and we don't want to be left as the odd one out.

Over the past few years, I always had one resolution in my mind- to write more blog posts. But somehow, I have failed miserably every time. If you check my calendar widget in the sidebar, it becomes quite apparent to you. The reasons behind my failure can be many. Sometimes, I had a writer's block, sometimes I lacked the inspiration, sometimes I was too busy with my studies, and sometimes I was just too lazy to type in so many words even though I had the whole thing worked out in my mind. These are not really reasons but rather excuses, you might say. And, I agree with you even though I hate it.

If you spend all the time planning a task, you'll end up with a great plan for sure but the task will remain unfinished. Such was the deal with me and my blog. So this year, I thought of not making a resolution. I'll just do it. And, this post is the start of it. Previously, I used to think up of a topic, frame its structure in my mind and then sit down to write it. But today, I just opened up the editor was stared at the blank screen with the blinking cursor and was wondering what to write about. Honestly, I had no idea what this post will be on when I opened this page.

You can also try this out. If you have spent your time planning your resolutions and the path to fulfill them meticulously only to realize after a month or so that you have left it behind long back, this is the time to do it. Here's your chance once again. Don't plan, just start doing it. The destination is all that you need to keep your focus on, not the journey. 

If you beg to differ or approve my views, I would love to know all about it in the comments section.

Also let me know about your new year resolutions below.

And, a very Happy New Year to all of you!!
