Beyond the will to write, I find sustainable
new year's resolutions impossible to follow.
By the middle of Feb, when I write this,
I know that everyone who made a resolution
six weeks ago will have found it easy at first,
and then some sudden drop in support
will make maintaining the change a struggle.
When the struggle get too hard, the focus shifts
to some lighter distraction, the resolve started
in times of ease will then be quietly abandoned,
with no recognition that the aim of the change
was complex enough to need better backing
than it was given when it was started.
With only the sense of rest on the day
the resolution was made for support
all will to keep up change collapses.
The best all year round resolution was said
by Samuel Beckett 'Try again, fail again, fail better.'.
If you follow that, and back it up with solid support
you fail well indeed. You'll be the best failure ever.
