Corey McCullock, New Year’s Resolutions

New Year’s resolutions always sound like great ideas at the time, but how often do we actually follow through?

There is always the common, “I am going to go to the gym more and get fit and healthy and lose weight” kind of resolution. That sounds like a great way to start off the new year. But as January continues on, how many people actually stick to their resolution? I read an article online that showed the top ten resolutions for 2014. From first to tenth they went lose weight, get organized, spend less/save more, enjoy life to the fullest, learn something exciting, quit smoking, help others in their dreams, fall in love, and spend more time with family.

Those all sound like great ideas for New Year’s resolutions, but in the same article it said that only 8% of people truly follow through with their resolution throughout the whole year. That’s not 8% of everybody on earth, because the article concluded that 38% of people in the world don’t make New Year’s resolutions. Now keep in mind that not everybody on earth was surveyed for this article, so there is obviously room for error. There are some rather, dumb, resolutions out there. Like the resolution to follow through with your New Year’s resolution. That is not even a real resolution, how do you know if you were successful or not?

I have yet to think of a resolution for this year, but I would be fine 2,3,4,5 and 10 on the top 10 list. I am usually very good with my resolutions. A few years ago I made one that I was going to quit drinking pop, and I went two years without one, and now if I have more than two at a time they make me sick.

I hope that everyone can stick to their resolution this year, good luck!
