New Year's Resolution Every new year brings in a new opportunity to be a new if not better you. But year in and year out our new year's resolutions only last a few weeks, if not a few days. And then when the inevitable happens -- when we break our resolution, we end up feeling bad and quit trying to be a better person until the next new year. And each year it's the same new determination to do good or to be good, and most times, the same results, disappointment. What most people have yet to realize is that by ourselves,  we cannot be good.  We can try but then eventually we stumble,  we falter and we fail.  And because of that,  so many of us just quit trying altogether.
