New year... new you?

Every year resolutions spring a plenty: lose weight, get a new job, learn a language, etc. Why do we do it? Is it our inherent nature to better ourselves, or is it a defeatist mentality we take with ourselves in the new year that is failed from it's very inception? The answer is. Not straight forward, each of us has our own reasons for doing th Inge and our own, unique aspirations that we want to attain, emulate and or achieve now and in the future.
