Maybe so, maybe no! I gave up New Year's resolutions so many years ago I can't remember now. What I found was, I resolve so many things throughout the year that December 31 is just one more on the list and it isn't that significant.
What I also found is, it takes works. I can't just decide something and make it so. I need to devote energy to it on a regular basis and if I don't do that, another day/week/month/year goes by...
Sometimes I feel like one of those circus performers spinning plates on a stick; just when the last one is spinning right, the first one is faltering...and so on, and so on. Getting it just right takes a lot of work and if it isn't worth it, why continue?
Balance is attainable, but not infinitely. It depends on what really matters - and those few things that really matter don't change as time goes on. For me, they just come into sharper focus year after year.
