They try to fulfill resolutions for the sake of fulfilling resolutions. There's no enthusiasm, no motivation if you turn your desires into a chore. If you have a goal in mind, you've got to want it. You've got to want to lose weight. You've got to want to quit smoking. You've got to want to jog three miles every day. Feelings of desire are a stronger motivator than feelings of obligation.

I personally feel that new year resolution is a great way of kickstarting some thing you wanted to do / wanted to get rid off for a long time. That said, your thoughts do carry a lot of weight as I read 50% don't keep their resolutions beyond January :-) --------------------------- My Positivity Blog http://positivityhub.com/ Scott, Nice perspective on New Year resolutions.
