new years resolutions were supposedly started way back in 153 BC with a mythical king of rome named janus. he is often depicted with two faces and one head. the one face is looking backward to see what he would like to change in the new year. the other face symbolizes his looking forward to visualize what things would be like with his changes accomplished and mastered. the romans conveniently named january after janus, thus why we identify resolutions with the first month of the year.
so, my challenge to myself this year is to be like this janus. consistently looking back and identifying areas of change, and becoming a resolution conqueror by looking forward with confidence that i can, and will change. may 2010 be the best year yet!
