Resolution : A Promise To Oneself

Deciphering the bookish definition of resolution, we can say that it is a firm decision to do or not do something. But in a layman’s term, resolution is nothing more than a promise.

In the current day and age, we can assert that broken promises have found a new home and have named it resolution.

It has almost become a trend for people to take up resolutions and then break it not even a week into trying it. Breaking resolutions and hence promises so nonchalantly depicts the heartlessness we have driven ourselves into in trying to cope with this materialistic world. Ours is a generation of broken hearts and broken people and we have none to blame but ourselves. Every relationship, despite it’s worth and gravitas, stands on the pillars of trust build around promises and here we are rupturing them for fun.

Every resolution, big or small, has to be in every capacity resolute and only then can we come out of our reverie and focus on the chances of creating a better world. Resolutions are far bigger than just an everyday thought and when someone takes them up, it becomes their duty to stand by them.

The way people deal with their resolutions speaks volumes of their character. If one breaks it easily without even trying, then he/she is a person of stammering will and very little determination while on the other hand trying to keep your word tells the world that you are grit and strong in character.

Finally I would like to end with a quote that goes like -
“The chains of habit are too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken”
trying to make the readers realise the importance of sticking to a certain decision until it becomes a habit.
