THE FUSE ABOUT RESOLUTIONS FOR A NEW SEASON

Recently, my close observation of human life has shown that the entrance of a new season usually marks the beginning of new opportunities with hopes and aspirations overtaking our minds. Most individuals are usually in high spirit to accomplish new results, while making changes in their private lives. You find majority of these people celebrate the entrance of a new season amidst mix reflections, new energy and new expectations. One real thing about life and seasons is that, seasons pass but what we make out of those seasons remain relevant (negatively or positively) to our lives and environment.

In the light of the foregoing, quite a number of individuals make New Year resolutions and decisions to reposition themselves for the new challenges. Resolution in this context is referred to as a firm decision to do something. It is most referred to as a firmness of mind or purpose to effect personal life changes through stringent decisions.
In the dawn of a new season, individuals make efforts to turn away from negative habits realised to have been detrimental to their lives. Some also make decisions to achieve some feats. But albeit how these resolutions are, within few months into the new season, they end up going back to their usual habits, most of which deter them from accomplishing their desires in the previous seasons.

Reason for this obstruction could not be farfetched form the following factors:

These individuals fail to understand what new season resolutions are and its essence. They therefore make resolutions following cues from friends and associates.

Studies have also shown that individuals, by default, renounce their resolutions unconsciously due to lack of required fortitude to fulfilling these resolutions.

Some individuals only make resolutions by "mouth" without taking out time to document and define measures through which resolutions made can be fulfilled

Failure to map out bit-by-bit strategies through which resolutions can be fulfilled also contribute to the denouncement of resolutions

Fraction of those who map out tactics to fulfilling resolutions also fail to concentrate their energies on mapped out steps

Lack of focus and inertia also contribute to non-fulfilling resolutions.

In this same vein, some individuals find it hard to make necessary sacrifices to fulfilling resolutions made; they end up returning to their old habits and attitudes

Wrong relationships also contribute to this challenge

Failure to self-educate, get the right counsel and set boundaries also contribute to this problem

Obstructions to individual resolutions can be avoided decisively by identifying with the aforementioned. Resolutions are not just made for the sake of entrance into a new season. They are made to make live better hence, ensuring the accomplishment of goals amongst other things.
Relatively, resolutions are somewhat essential to individuals in new seasons. They assist in achieving desired feats in new seasons. It is a powerful process in effecting changes in our personal lives.
