There are days that assumed as special day and become momentum for people to make resolution whether for better life or to make their wish come true. For example on Birthday, Anniversary or New Year day.
On these days, many people make resolution list of their program during the year. Some of the success check the list while the other only make without try to do it, so they fail.
It is fine, it is common. Human like the momentum, the new thing, instead of work out to get through it. Human prefer waiting, enjoy and celebrate the moment, than do something hard to reach their desire. However, it is also fine to wish the gift even magical things as long as their wish come true.
Actually, as a human we should have targets in life. Then, after we have target in life, we have to work out to reach it. We may use the momentum to make resolution relate to the target. But remember to not only write down and keep the resolution on our agenda, we must keep work on to do it and reach the target as well. Shortly, we may take our resolution easy but we must do it seriously.
Because life is not a play land. It is okay to enjoy the life but keep on track, get the target to be better. Keep the spirit on. Work out then we deserve to enjoy the happiness after that. Don't forget to grateful, thanks to God is a must. That's all.
