A Little bit of Resolve...
...is what I need now (according to the Foo Fighters). But now that 2010 is drawing to an end this is exactly what is on the forefront of people's minds.
Instantly most will probably dwell on the fact they haven't ticked everything off their never-ending bucket list, and the things they have done will probably consist of, errrr, joining the gym and then realising this will be the first thing to go back on the list because they quit after one month...
This guilt coincides with the post Christmas blues (I don't always talk about Christmas, promise) as people struggle to zip up their favourite glad-rags that they planned to paint the town red with on NYE.
The fact that we, as a human race, feel the need to purge for our sins and promise to ourselves that we endeavour to do better in the new year, poses the question in my mind: Are we our own worst enemy?
Unless you're some sordid serial killer whose spent the past year on a major rampage, I'm sure most of us have achieved something worth patting ourselves on the back for.
There's always things you wish you'd done differently or better, but stewing over the negative is like chasing your non-existent tail that you'll never catch.
Give yourself a break; you're only human, after all.
