Resolution for new year..

As 2009 is coming to a close, everyone and everywhere I hear/read the word-resolution. I am kinda of person who likes to make resolutions every year. The sad part is if I fail or deviate a little somewhere down the year and I feel so irritated and angry over myself of not being able to keep up my resolutions. (I assume everyone gets into this loop!!).
I was speaking about this to my close family circle and was trying to get some inputs to identify the secret receipe to realize resolutions without getting into self-criticism/self-aversion mode. One of the resolutions I got from my close circle was "To keep up with our resolution" will be one of our resolutions! ;). Though it sounds funny,I think its a fairly complicated task and it needs to be done on a daily basis to see if you are on track.

In this regard, I got an email from my father about resolutions. I am not sure on the source of this article , but its a good one. Do spend some time for yourself to read this article and do this exercise. I have tried doing the below, I shall keep it a little private for now ;)

Don’t worry about resolutions, think about who you are at your best.
1)Who are the people who bring out the best in you? Why? How are you when you are at your best? Are you passionate, are you smarter? Are you more fulfilled?
2)Think about “who” you want to be and what it mean to become that.
3) Then every day while you are in the shower (assuming you bathe), think about being you at your best for the whole day and what you will accomplish. When 2011 comes around, you will
astound yourself at the greater person you have become...

May your 2010 be the first year of your even greater identity.

Happy new year to all.
