We Need a Resolution

Welcome to 2009, where America will no longer have the luxury of indicting Bush for all the nation's wrong-doings (rightfully) and "change" is the people's demand. While some approach New Year's Resolutions with flip obligation, many set goals they truly believe they'll achieve. -- goals they truly believe they may achieve.

Typically, these resolutions are thought of as promises to improve on the previous year's efforts. In lieu of a promise or declaration, I prefer the followinf definition of res·o·lu·tion:
Pronunciation: \ˌre-zə-ˈlü-shən\

Function: noun
1 : the act of answering


Use the new year as a chance to improve on the "why?" behind the "what?". Any four year old can point to Lucky Charms and say, "Gimme," but ask him why and the likely answer is, "Because." Growth s isn't identifying your desires, but evaluating the rationale behind and validity of those desires.

In a departure from my usual snark, I sincerely wish each of you success in keeping your resolutions and much honesty and toil in the discovery of those goals.
