Universal Resolutions 

If you have a resolution that you would like to add then please email me

Before we make any resolutions let’s see what they really mean. The Concise Oxford Dictionary gives these definitions:-

Resolve – To make up your mind – To decide firmly – To solve a problem.

Resolute – Decided – Determined - Firm of purpose.

Resolution – Formal expression of intention.

As you can see resolutions are not “wishy/washy” “Oh I’d like to do this” sort of statements. They are a very definite statement of intent backed by resolute behaviour. Resolutions are promises we make to ourselves concerning things that we are determined to accomplish in our lives.
