Do you set new year's resolutions?

[Jared R]

And do you normally keep them if you do? Do you have any for 2016?

No, no, and no. It's all pretty silly IMO. If you are or aren't motivated to do something, simply being a new year won't change it either way.

Lol, I think that's true with the lofty goals people make ("I'm never going to eat junk food again and I'm going to go to the gym every day"). But I usually make one specific resolution for the year and keep it.

I use to but not anymore, never kept them

In 2015, I quit smoking and drinking alcohol. Just maintaining this takes just about all of my willpower for now

That's excellent .

I accomplished most of my goals this year, except for two, but I still haven't took time to think on my resolutions for next year.

Impressive. Two of the most common and hard-to-break habits.

I don't, just because I tend to be so stubborn that the moment I'm think I can't do something, I do it.

We all need to take our resolutions one day at a time, and, most importantly, we have to realize that having one imperfect day doesn't mean we're back to square one. We will all take two steps forward and one step back occasionally, but if we are moving in an overall positive direction that is a great accomplishment.

Good points Fantine. We all stumble and fall everyday of our lives. Christs example is as he carried his cross to Calgary, he fell many times and even he in his humanity needed assistance in carrying his cross.

I don't set resolutions. Change for me is ongoing.

I have already accomplished one resolution. I had a keyword search in Christian Forums for 'pope'. Mostly all it did was aggravate me when I would look at somebody complaining about the Catholic Church. So I deleted that keyword. Now I shouldn't get an email any more when someone is in anti-Catholic attack mode. I figured it was just a distraction to my faith anyway. I have let responding to Catholic bashers take up way too much of my life in years past and I don't have all that many years left so I would like to do something good with the time that remains.
