Mendocino, CA
When I was growing up someone told me, “New Year’s resolutions are useless because everyone always breaks them anyway.”
I used to wonder, “Why does everyone have to break them?”
Then one day, I realized that everyone gets to make their own choices about what New Year’s goals and resolutions they will make; and they can also decide whether or not to keep or break them.
Since having this epiphany, I eagerly anticipate the start of each New Year as it is an exciting opportunity to set new goals and resolutions and to make a firm vow to keep them.
“Be detached from the body and everything connected to it. Remaining self-satisfied, steadfastly keep your vows while concentrating your minds fully on Me. In this way you will ultimately attain Me, the Supreme Absolute Truth. (Srimad Bhagavatam 10.73.23)
