Fuck New Year’s Resolutions

We’re around that time of the year when most of the people make all kinds of wishes for the year that comes so they can only not put them in practice. Since there are just three or four days left from this year, depending on where you live, I feel like I have to make this post.

It’s funny how people are getting excited about a new year and what they are going to accomplish so they can only say they will do it tomorrow.

There are two big reasons why you should stop making new year's resolutions.

You Don’t Have To

Looking from outside it seems like a rather stupid tradition that most of the people start to make wishes, all around the same time every year. You don’t have to even if everybody’s doing it. Why don’t you make a plan for the next 300 days let’s say, and you stick to it instead of vain wishes for the new year?

It’s not like 2018 is going to be a magic year and transform you from a fat fuck to a top model without you putting in any of the work.

You don’t have to set up goals before getting into the new year; you can do it now. It seems so foolish to wait until you get into 2018 so only you can make a stupid wish.

The only time is now if you want to do something you have to do it now, there are a few more days till 2018, who knows what will happen, maybe Donald Trump nukes the whole world and all of your goals are going to shit.

You can wait, the time will not.

If you want to accomplish something in the new year, you don’t postpone it one more week, not even one more day but you start to map out your future now even if that’s as little as setting up a goal, but you have to do it now.

It’s Useless

I remember that when I was a kid, I used to always make wishes or goals before getting into the new year. Pumped up about the fact that this is going to be the best year of my life and that I am finally going to accomplish it so only, I can keep on postponing taking action soon after that.

But now, looking back at those moments I realize that the vast majority of people are acting the same, they will end up not accomplishing anything because they are too fucking lazy and prefer to watch another episode of Game of Thrones instead of getting off their ass and do something.

Don’t get me wrong, Game of Thrones is a reasonably good TV show, it’s nice to see how Jon Snow dies and gets brought back to life by a hot nun but still, real life tastes so much fucking better.

The thing is that if you kept on postponing for the last couple of years, saying that you will do it tomorrow, what are the chances that without taking any action you are going to do it this year? I’ll tell you, slim to none, unless you somehow magically win the lottery, which is not going to happen.

Saying all that, setting up goals for the next year it’s useless if you’re not going to act upon them and you will only end up frustrated.

Conclusion

My friend, what you need is called the action. You need to get off that cheap couch, quit fucking MC Donald’s and TV and get into a gym; maybe then you will be able to lose some fat. It is not going to happen by drinking Coca-Cola Zero sugar. This is just a metaphor, but you see how that applies to other fields of your life.

Don’t get me wrong; I do think that 2018 is going to be a fantastic year, especially for us, Steemians, and it is probably going to be my best year too, but you don’t have to set up vain goals now just because everybody’s doing it.

Also, maybe you noticed that I was referring to the same thing with the words wishes and goals, but I’ve done it on purpose because for the sea of mediocrity it is the same thing. A wish is something that may or may not happen and for them setting up a goal is the same thing.

They don’t have the discipline to feel already that their goal is real, they don’t have the determination to make it happen no matter what.
