My personal opinion about New Year's Resolution.

Everyone on this platform has a new year resolution, I believe this makes us achieve our goals very easily.
Resolution is just like trying a new experience and also taking a bold step that will make your life become better and also increase your overall well-being.

What do you understand by "New Year Resolution"

Due to my experience in life, a new year resolution is simply a commitment that a person makes to himself in order to improve his overall lifestyle and also make a bold step that will better his life.
At the end of the year, we often sit and reflect on our past experience, we look at areas that we were unsuccessful and failed and also when we make some mistakes that nearly damage our lives.
We will set a resolution for the hear not to relay such rather seek areas that we need to improve our luce and become better, the aim for thus is to make sure that we are better that the way we were last year.

When making a resolution for ourselves, we must learn to forget about the last and start a fresh beginning, make new friends that will add value to our life.
New Year's Resolution is very important because it makes you focus on the year, and even though you face setbacks along the way, you will remain focused on achieving your goals for the year.

Do you think it's a futile yearly routine or a viable means of achieving yearly goals?

For me, it is a viable means of achieving our yearly goals because it is not everyone that has a new year resolution. Some just choose to remain as they are, and year to year, they are still the same.

Is it only those who want to achieve their yearly goals that always set a new gear resolution for themselves every year.
If you want to become successful in life, you must plan ahead that is why we always have a new year resolution for the year, this helps us to become better and also play a vital role in helping us achieve our goals.
As steeminans, I believe most of us have set goals for ourselves. we also have a resolution for the year on this platform.

What do you think the missing link is, that makes people fail with their New Year resolutions.

Due to my experience, I think we focus only on our goals for the year, forgetting that the plan that God has for us is different.
We fail to make a plan B for ourselves. Sometimes, we don't achieve our goals due to one thing or the order.
Unseriousness sometimes make people fail to achieve their goals for the year, and also, when we engage ourselves with bad friends, they might end up ruining our plans for the year.

Life isn't always sunshine and butterflies sometimes we gotta learn to smile through the pain.

But if we have a plan B it will be very easy for us to get over it, even though we don't achieve our gaol at least we will improve other aspects of our lives.
Again, hard work is the key to every success, so whenever we set a new year resolution for ourselves, we should make sure we work really hard to achieve it and should be prepared for any outcome.
