New Years is a time to start a new chapter in your life, it is a time for people to reinvent themselves and change undesirable things about themselves. The first week of or two of the new year usually goes pretty well, people are at the gym working out, they're eating a salad or homemade food instead of fast food,or even not smoking. but after a few weeks the craving starts to set in, they want that junk food or that cigarette or whatever their vice is, or they're too tired to go to the gym. It is in these weeks that peoples promises to themselves are broken and they slip back into their normal routine of vices and laziness. Sure there are some people that keep with their New Years resolution and change themselves for the better, but those people are in the minority the 5% or maybe even the 1% of people that have the resolve the change, but these people are few and far between. I believe that people should not need a reason to change, they should realize what they’re doing and change it no matter what time of the year it is. I personally don't make new years resolution, its not because i think i'll break them, its because i don't believe that the start of a new year should be such a special occasion where you reinvent yourself, if i want to change something about myself i do it whenever i want it to be changed not when society wants me to. I don't mind if other people try to change something about themselves, but i do when people create unrealistic goals and then complain or become disappointed when they fail. As an example when people say they will stop eating a certain kind of food, for example chocolate probably one of the most common resolutions and thus most broken, however if the goal was the only have chocolate or food of choice in moderation then i would have less of a problem with it.
