Resolution not to resolve


Well Well Well...here we are in 2013..and here is my first appearance in the world of blogging this year...I have started disbelieving in the concept of resolutions. This comes straight after a possible force in me turned towards ‘resolving’ to write more (Checked the stats on the number of posts in 2012– pathetic is the expression I could relate to). Then the mind went into considering what is the definition of resolution?? Resolution can be defined as acts/doings that we want to do and we don’t do reasons aside. If we want to do it we would anyway do it, unless somewhere we have certain elements (controllable or uncontrollable) surrounding the doing, from actually getting it done. And when you actually want to do it, you would resolve yourself naturally to get it done and cross any hurdle that comes your way as you have already channeled yourself to accomplish the said task.

And hence I said to myself that I would blog when I want to blog. Its been a month since that thought has gone by and here I am posting my primal post for FY 13.

But do we always need a new year to do what we want to do? I believe the human mind has formed a logical cycle towards the close of the year as an assessment cycle and starts a conspicuous effort to filter out what wasn’t done that could/should have been done. Its quite natural as we see the word concluding the year and readying itself to a brand new era. End is the new beginning and any beginning to a logical mind is a reason to refresh itself to improve in doing it better. This transition is motorized by contemplation, self-inspection and introspection. Introspection is an integral part of change. But any forced change is never going to bring a result that an inspired change

We always say that you should do what we enjoy doing. But then the very effort of forcing, fitting and plugging in resolutions is adulterates the sanctity of these resolutions as you would never deliver your fullest till the time you decide naturally to it.

So much for resolutions!!
