New Year Resolution - Does it make sense?

Retrospection, questions and answers

1. Have you ever taken a resolution on new year eve? 
• Mostly yes. I often take every year since i became professional. Sometimes i share it with others and sometimes i do not share with others reason being "fearing failure". It looks like the goals should not to be made public.
2. Have you ever successfully able to keep up the commitment to yourself? 
• Yes for initial days/weeks and then it fades away. After few months, i hardly remember the resolution unless someone remind me
3. What is the motivation behind your resolution?

• I want to lead a better life. I think everyone has every right to be better and be happier. When i take resolution, it always give me a fresh thought and a fresh start. I feel that i can erase all the past and give my life a fresh start. I understand that it need not be a new year. But then it is a nice way to start a year so that we can review it mid way through the year.
4. How does it feel when you have given up resolution?
• It feels very hard. Though i smile, i really takes a toll on my self-confidence. I feel like i am an excellent starter & planner but a poor finisher.
5. What do you think is root cause of failing in resolution?
• There is no single answer. It is lack of experience, lack of ability to split the goals into minor critical accomplishments, lack of prioritization, lack of ability to connect emotional with the goal (Elephant), lack of understanding of tiny improvements & small wins, lack of commitment.
6. Is it still relevant?
• Yes, i do think that i am going to have very few resolutions.
7. How do you think that you will be different this year?
1. I need to think a lot. 
2. I should marry my long term goals to shorter term wins (Rider, Elephant). I should focus on one month at a time than a year (a lot of things can happen in a year but shorter periods are almost certain)
3. Focus should be on Health, Happiness and Skill building than making money.
4. Approach this more psychologically by forming habits rather than seeing this as end points. (For example losing 30 pounds should directly related to walking. Unless i form walking as a habit, i cannot lose 30 pounds.)
5. Whatever it is, i should share my progress with others.
