New Year New Me.

This trending tweet that annoys all of us as the new year comes around, if used in the right context, has great intentions if you think about it. Gym memberships and church attendances spike during the first month or so of the year, which is fantastic, but why do so many give up so easily? I do know what it is like to have life get in the way, but if someone is determined to better themselves why would they not make things that better themselves, apart of their life? Make going to the gym part of your routine, I know it is possible. I feel as if when it comes to going to the gym, people get frustrated with no results, and with the new rage of loving your own body, people are less motivated to go. People these days want things now, and are too lazy to have to work for things they want. 

New Year's resolutions motivate individuals into putting in the work that is required to better themselves. The idea of starting over lights a fire under them. Life can get to a person, and new beginnings give people hope of things being better than they were. This gets people to want to change for the better. Mid-February is when people start giving up, some sooner, some push a little longer, but I think it is a generally assumed fact that the majority of people are expected to resort back to their old ways shortly after New Years. Do not let yourself be put into that category of assumed giver-uppers. Make plans to better yourself and stick to them. It is not as difficult as people make it out to be, it just takes something that no one our age likes to hear, effort. Hopefully you can stick to whatever your New Year's resolution and just start laughing at the people who doubt you.
