Have you ever made a New Year's resolution that you didn't keep? I will confess that I've made numerous ones over the years, which is why I no longer make them. Instead, I make New Year's "declarations." What's the difference? I'm glad you asked . . .
A resolution is something you determine to do. A declaration, on the other hand, is something that you declare or announce. It is something that you have already set in your mind to do, and you are simply proclaiming it as fact that you will do. Do you see the difference? Some may say it's just a case of semantics, but not really. It is also a mindset and an attitude. To resolve or determine to do something carries much less weight than that which you have declared or announced.
As you begin 2009, fix your mind on what you need to do differently this year, and do not simply resolve to do but declare that you will do it!
Feel free to post your 2009 New Year Declarations on this blog.
Blessings,
Lynn
