-

-

When you know the truth it sets you free from this nonsense and superstitions!!
-
This year I strived to save more money and learn how to cook more and I'm pleased to say I managed to do both.
-
I don't make resolutions most of the time. But for 2015 I am going to try to save more money and cook healthier meals.
-
Every year I say I am going to stick with something and some times I do and some times I don't. But it's a good self motivator even if you don't stick with it! :)
-
I don't make resolutions on New Years. I try to make healthy changes all year long.
-
I will, but not yet. Whether I keep or remember them, that's another question :P
-

I have a resoulution to quit smoking
-
I have a resoulution to change to my life style to better
-
I don't want to make any new year's resolutions this year, because I give up before I reach my goal. Small positive things that I do on a daily basis works well for me, and this way I am not overwhelmed.
-
I usually don't, 2013 was the first time that I did. I set goals that I want to accomplish for the new year, and I have already began working towards 2015.
-
I stopped making resolutions last year. This coming year I am just going to be the best I can be and roll with the changes and stay positive and motivated.
-
I don't make them so I don't get disappointed if I don't succeed. Instead I try and change things as I see needed during the year
-
I do make them, and always break them lol
This year its getting back on track with my diet, I was doing very well till Thanksgiving
-
I don't believe nor encourage New Years Resolution, I believe in daily improvement. Looking for that one area of your life that you can begin improving now.
-
I just want to be a better person, and Cristian.
-
I used to make New Year's resolutions years ago but I never seemed to accomplish my goals so I stopped making them.
-
I haven't made a New Year's resolution in so long I son't even remember the last year I made one.They aree a waste of time They are meant to be broken.
-
I want to work on making more money online.
-
Save more money and make more money simple right !?!?
-
Lose some weight! Walk and walk!
-
I tend to not make any New Year resolutions. I just decide to do something whenever, and not base it around a date.
-
I haven't thought about any new year's resolution yet. Every year I almost make the same ones.
-
I start and stop them throughout the year. As usual the two big ones are to lose weight and exercise more. I would also like to see if I can make more from fusioncash in 2015 then I did in 2014.

Nicely put. :highfive: I wholeheartedly agree.
-

-
Every year I would make the lose weight resolution, but I never stick to it past January. So I've stopped making resolutions.
-
The whole diet thing.I do it every year, but this year I feel more serious about it.

What is superstitious about a New Year's resolution?
-
The superstitious thing about it is if you dont...or do make one something good...or bad will happen.
Sorta like..step on a crack...break your mothers back...
I was gonna make my NYR but first i need to check Mars is in its right rotation with Saturn!!
-
I have never heard that it was a superstition. It's just a traditional practice to affirm some kind of change in your life for the new year.
-
I made some last year and a couple of things I perfected so I feel good.

Not at all. There's no belief that something good or bad will happen if you meet or don't meet a resolution. A New's Years Resolution is simply a goal that you set for yourself for the new year.

Hawkeye...do a little more research please....
In Greece many people smash a pomegranate right after midnight outside their front door. Why make this mess? Well they believe that the seeds will bring prosperity and good fortune. They also put a coin in a cake such as Vasilopita. The cake is cut at midnight and whoever gets the coin is said to have good luck in the New Year. The Greek often adorn tables with symbols of happiness and wealth including nuts, honey, fresh fruit and olive branches. Dating back to the 6th century BC, some hang a squill (or regular) onion on their front door to ward off bad spirits.

I am not gonna write a book....much more foolishness out there

None of those things would be considered new year's resolutions. There are various new year's traditions that are superstitious, but setting a new years resolution is not. They are not the same thing.
-
Point being whether you wanna call it resolution or tradition....superstition is involved and related to the DAY!!!
-
Then you really have no point. Setting a new year's resolution is simply one of many new year's traditions. It doesn't have to be new years to set a resolution. People set them all the time during the year and have various times to accomplish them.
-
It doesnt have to be New Years to have a silly superstition either!!
-
And nothing about setting a resolution is superstitious, no matter when you do it.
-
LOL...oh yeah...i know a devout catholic that said,"i will not forget to make the sign of the cross everytime i pass the church"
Resolution.......superstition
Of course many dont feel making sign of cross a superstition.......come come!!
Sports athlete....i will not shave till we lose a game

superstition - definition of superstition by The Free Dictionary
www.thefreedictionary.com/superstition
An irrational belief that an object, action, or circumstance not logically related to a course of events influences its outcome.
-
Resolution- a. A firm decision to do something: b. A course of action determined or decided on:
e.g. made a resolution to get more exercise; his resolution is to get up early.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/resolutions
It's clear that resolutions and superstitions are two different things. If you really want to reach and claim that in your example people setting "resolutions" for superstitious reasons, fine, but in no way does that make resolutions superstitious. That's just rather silly logic. Using that same logic, anyone who doesn't cut their facial hair is doing it because of a superstition. Your argument is based on a false premise.
-
Yes..resolution a firm decision to do something......But i am NOT walking into that situation without my good luck charm...
Not sure what world you live in....i see it all the time....
-
I am not saying everyone that makes a resolution is superstitious and i am sure that some that make them are sincere and have succcess.
But they can go hand in hand too...thats all i am saying.Dont say they dont.
I am making a resolution to stop my fear of flying.....and when they do they bring their Jesus cross with them...get it???
-
Whether that plane landed safely or crashed that cross would have no bearing on the matter.....
Of course unless you walked into the cockpit and forced it down the pilots throat and he choked to death and no one was there to fly the plane.
-
If you need a "good luck charm" to complete a resolution, that makes you the one that is superstitious. It doesn't make the resolution a superstition. They don't go hand in hand. They simply don't.
Setting a resolution isn't going to make a non-superstitious all of sudden turn to a superstition to complete it. It's just not. A superstitious person might, but there is absolutely nothing about setting a resolution that is superstitious.
-

Of course unless you walked into the cockpit and forced it down the pilots throat and he choked to death and no one was there to fly the plane.
And this of course has nothing to do with setting a resolution.
-
Well thats my point...a person may set a resolution but may need a superstition to carry it out.....
Again the person is afraid to fly and says im gonna not be afraid anymore and he relys on his good luck charm to be with him and if he forgets it he doesnt board the plane.

I didnt expect someone as argumentive as you to have a sense of humor....i even laughed at it!!!
-
MY apologies...i put up wrong quote...but im sure you know the one i meant
-
So i am getting ready to pack up...have your last say and dont forget to make some resolutions to make u smile some more!!
-
I don't like making resolutions because I find it hard to follow it. I like to set small goals and achieve them.
-
I never keep them, but I keep trying.
-
I make resolutions,even write them down, but so far I haven't followed through. That's my main goal this coming new year, following through with what I've said-wish me luck :)
-
I stop making them a long time ago.
-
I make no New Years resolution so that I won be disappointed if I fail!
-
I don't have any of New Year Resolutions. Thank You!
-
They don't work, you'd put in more work into it if you had a personal conviction or a reasonable plan to succeed.
