Making resolutions is important for a person who wants to grow and strive to be better. Normally people make good resolutions but, you can make bad ones as well. But the goals people set out for themselves are usually those that aim to help a person accomplish whatever they want to achieve.

First of all, it i important to set goals because it provides motivation to in fact do what the person set out to do. It helps the person feel confident and feel like that they can do the goal if they set out and try their hardest to achieve it and if you do you’ll feel really good about it later.

Another reason it is crucial to make a resolution is to prove the haters wrong. Normally when a person wins an argument or a fight he or she will get a big ego and confidence boost. This is what it feels like when you prove wrong the people that doubted you finishing/completing your resolution. The chemical that makes you feel happy is probably dopamine (there are many chemicals that make a person feel good but dopamine is the main one). It is important to prove people wrong so that you don’t begin to doubt yourself and your abilities. Let us say for an example someone brings you down or says that you can’t achieve the goal you set out for. Don’t listen to the hater; be more than that, be stronger than that. My favourite quote towards this issue is from Stan Lee, who says “If you have an idea that you genuinely think is good, don't let some idiot talk you out of it.” What Lee is saying is that… [give yourself, not Lee, the final word in this paragraph]

Finally, another reason why making New Year’s resolutions can help a person is that it can help you strive to become a better person. Normally a person makes the resolution to be better and achieve one of their goals. It’s one of the main reasons to even make a resolution. For example, one might decide to lose weight or to achieve a beach body before summer. Resolutions like these are for your benefit, not anyone else’s. You made the resolution to become a better you, it was probably the media telling you that you have to be fit to get all the girls but you still thought it was good and that you needed to be fit to be just like everyone else. The only important thing is that you think what you did was right and that you are doing it to become a better you. Why should we keep our resolutions in this day and age. Why should we strive to complete something so hard and so tome consuming. It’s because resolutions makes us human. It makes out branch out and completely new things only to better ourselves and the people around us. If we choose to do this we can become a new type of human. A human who is actually responsible for their actions, a human that can actually complete long term goals. A human that is free and is healthy because they met their goals.

I will conclude by saying that making resolutions, in general, can make you become a better person and can make you feel that you can achieve almost anything. This only comes into effect, however, if you actually act on your plans If you don’t, you won't be feeling all of those feelings of accomplishment and thus you should definitely resolve to make changes so you can feel like a success.
