Intentions, Not Resolutions

Welcome to the beginning of 2024. This is the time of year that everyone is either finalizing their resolutions for the year, or fiercely putting them into practice.

Let's take a moment, however, to contemplate the essence of resolutions. By definition, a resolution is a resolute decision to either pursue or abstain from a particular course of action. It's unwavering. Yet, as I've found through personal experience, resolutions often set us up for disappointment. Despite our best intentions, they can become burdensome tasks, leading to frustration when they don't unfold as expected, even if circumstances are beyond our control.
