New years, a time when people across the world celebrate the start of a new year. Many start the new year with ambitious goals and promises. But do we actually live up to them?

Millions of people make New Year Resolutions, whether its to get a new position at their job, or merely to get in shape. Many do not follow through with there resolutions.

Truthfully I believe that people should actually try to keep their resolutions alive year round. Because not only will it better themselves as people but allow them to reach goals they wished to reach for years. There are many different reasons people decide not to keep their resolutions and sometimes life gets too hard to continue them. But if something is not a big deal, you should let it prevent you from accomplishing what you want to set out to accomplish.

New Year resolutions shouldn't be a month thing, but yet a year by year thing. It will allow you to pursue new opportunities and or better your life as a whole.

See many people make resolutions to better improve their way of living or set their expectations of themselves for the year. Now what would that be if a short time into it, you just quit? That would mean that you do not believe in yourself enough to follow through with your promises to yourself.

While quitting is the easy way out of things, it doesn't allow room for you to grow and better yourself. The resolution isn't about being the best or getting far beyond what is capable. But pushing yourself and challenging yourself to do better, and by the end of the year you'll make progress. though it may not be all the progress you hoped of, you still came out better than where you started.

So I ask you, do you have what it takes to keep your resolution alive?
