New Years

Well for starters it's 2013!!! Still doesn't feel like it though... but HAPPY NEW YEARS! Now let's get on with it....
How many of us say "new year, new me" or make resolutions... but how many of us actually stick to them? I know I don't. It's a great idea, but let's face it.. In reality it never actually happens or works. We set out with the idea that we are going to change who we are or silly things that we don't like (that we said for months already we were gonna change) but what makes the new year hype so much different? Is it because it's a new beginning? Is it because it's tradition and everyone does it? Or is it just because we like to lie to ourselves and feel like we might accomplish that goal that has sat there for months? Who knows.
Change isn't just about what time of year it is. You, as a person are changing all year round even if you don't realize it. Just because things look the same now doesn't mean in a year or five years it will look that way. Time flies and we don't really even notice half the time. The days seem so long but looking back it seems so short. Goals shouldn't be set just because it's a new time. Set them ALL the time. You're never too late to accomplish something. Have hopes, have dreams, have fears, but be realistic with yourself too. That's always important. Reality isn't always fun but it's the truth, and it's okay to be caught up in a dream at times too.
So ladies and gents, stop lying to yourself and complaining if you don't want to make the effort to change it. Be determined, and make this another fabulous year! I mean after all we did survive the end of the world... :)
