		<description>Interesting! Most of the resolutions have to do with giving something up!

It think we inherintly want to give up the &#039;bad&#039; things in our lives. The problem is that we don&#039;t actually see them as that bad. Meaning that although our intention is good - but our heart is not in it.

Example: You think you&#039;re over weight, well... people tell you that you&#039;re overweight and therefore you begin to think it. So we decide to lose 10kg&#039;s! This doesn&#039;t work because we lose 8kgs and start to feel good and eventually we stop trying.

I wonder what happens when we resolve to do something WE want rather WE DONT want. Would the outcome change. 

For example: Losing weight in order to run a marathon, find that hidden six pack, manage stress! 

Resolve to do something where the reward is greater than the work and you will most likely achieve it. 

PS: I resolve to blog more because the more I write the closer I get to writing a book one day!</description>
