Rules for taking Resolutions!

If you have planned to take resolutions for the year 2012, STOP! Think Again. Why is that we tend to live the way we like the entire year and then decide to put the burden of getting it all right on the last day of the year?

To evolve as a Human Being is a continuous process. Everyday we learn something new. Goodness is spread all around us in various forms. It just takes a keen eye and an alert mind to adopt good things to live better.  But the convenience of having a DAY to take resolutions makes our job easy. So we just don't care what we are today by thinking about changing ourselves with some self-made promises on a special-day. But still, if you are adamant, then let's point out some rules of taking resolutions this New Year:

- Make a list of your promises.
- Read it out loud to your near and dear ones.
- Analyse them intensely and think about their good impact in your life.
- Don't hesitate to start following them from day1 (The New Year Dawn).
- Keep in mind that resolutions are not just for JANUARY month, they are for the entire year and also for many years to come.
- Don't be lenient. Follow them strictly.
- Ask you friends and family to support you in following them without fail.
- Encourage yourself to take up the challenge of changing yourself.
- Take the whole thing positively, after all its goodness that you have decided to adopt and spread in other's lives.
- Don't force those resolutions on yourself. Make promises only if you can live up to them.
- Feel happy about it!
