Your New Year 2013 resolutions

Hi All,

Still it is few days for new year 2013 to arrive. Just a thought came to my mind about 2013 resolutions. I do not make any new year resolutions, but I heard from some people that at least they make their new year resolutions. So thought of asking you all regarding your new year 2013 resolutions. So please share your new year 2013 resolutions.

Also Happy New Year 2013 to all in advance. May 2013 be a year of joy, peace and happiness for all.

    resolutions are vows.. and vows(forces of pure will) are made to be broken, so I never make them either

    Last year I vowed to bring more peace to my home, and I succeeded. Not where I want it to be, but much improved. I'm not sure if I'll make one this year or not.

    I'm starting to let go of useless pursuits now so that I can start 2013 with Dhamma as number one priority.

    Do more charity work.
    Get more sleep.

    *standing in the line*

    Im with those not making any.
    It creates a weird time pressure that
    usually distracts me from what I'm trying
    to do.

    To be as balanced spiritually and emotionally, as I can be... to help others - family and otherwise.

    So right. So Buddhist. So Nothing. So Absolute.
    Anyone function like that? Really? Or in an unreal (secluded) reality . . .
    Can we make 'great efforts' towards 'non resolution' and find resolve there?
    Still resolve to 'try' . . . only 366 days or less to enlightenment . . .
    Hopefully . . . oops should I be hopeful, slipping already . . .
    Hopefully some of the unresolved will come too . . . just for fun . . . :thumbup:
