Go ahead and mock New Years resolutions all you want ... but if you are not dedicated to some LIFELONG process of personal growth, improving your habits and making yourself useful to others, you cannot be a friend of mine. I detest parasites. I resolved in 2015 to offend people -- THIS might do the trick for some, but I am guessing that most of my friends use self-improvement processes even if they dont care for New Years resolutions. It takes 25 days of resolved effort to institutionalize a new good habit or quit a bad one. It takes 2500 repetitions to embed a skill in muscle memory ... it takes 10 years to master any martial art. I am a master of three things farming, engineering and economics ... I will stack my skills up against anyone in those arts, even though, I have retired from all three and now have only a passing interest. I worked long and hard on mastery of those arts ... mastery afforded me the ability to retire at 49, I could coast, but I truly detest comfort and needing comfort and sticking with the familiar. My intention now is to move on, to give away everything except for what I need to live, to move out of my comfort zone, to master other skills and other ways to be of service ... I only have one life, I want a BIGGER LIFE ... to do that I cannot afford to apologize for offending people who are not doing enough to liberate themselves, to work at make their lives better.
