every right thinking human aiming for greatness and all round perfection is expected to set goals(financial, emotional, physical, etc)

Goals without time attached to its attainment can take forever to achieve. Hence, the need to assess these plans annually.

this, unarguably is a worthy explanation for the birth of 'new year resolutions'

You only explained "why" time is important to goal setting not "why" it should be set on the first day of the year.

My resolution started the day I came out from depression and I said I'm not visiting there anymore. I don't see anything bad with a new year resolutions it gives us the chance to do better than before. Time and seasons has a great impact on our lives and future. So, planning is the key factor. Your new year resolutions can be... I want to learn more skills on how to be financially free. For me i just want to chases one thing until I can see the result. Before moving to a new one. I'm tired of chasing after shadows and being caught up in the rat race of life. Mode of action is calmness and let our success do the noise making.

Because there is this weird belief that whatsoever decisions or activities one takes or get involved in at the beginning of the calendar year, will remain so till the end of the year.

But, as we all have noted, there is absolutely nothing like that. cheesy

Take a decision at anytime and stand by it, that's all.

I'm not rooting for plans to be set on the first day of the year. New year resolution is like National Budget 2020. it's a must if there must be progress notwithstanding when such inventory is being collated. I hope you understand the bigger picture now.

Most of our 31th night / 1st January resolutions were done with mostly emotions lacking determination enough to backed it up. Resolutions are not what you plan a night, just like habits it takes time to build. A night is not enough. Come to God with your expectations and desires. The speed we make our resolutions is almost same speed we break them. If we plan resolutions from November, it will be easier to keep.

Enjoy God's grace

Nne, you just underlined the truth, especially the bolded part.

Its not a "must" for progress.

There are other paths to progress, this is just one way.

People indulge in new year plans because they believe the new year is a new start.

*Another New Year Resolution Nonsense, that won't work before January ends, bla bla bla...*

If you are among those that are quick to castigate New Year Resolution, keep it to yourself biko, and don't discourage those that want positive change and plans for themselves, it is better to try and fail than not to try at all..

Set Goals and work towards achieving it..
