And knowing that, we observe how many people do make resolutions and how many of them are so short-lived.  It is more often an [[exercise]] in frustration and self-defeatism than it is a self-stimuli package.  But that said, it is always intriguing to test your own capacities, your own [[disciplines]], your own [[endurance]] levels.  It’s always good to challenge yourself, particularly when you have an [[idea]] of what your capacities are and you pretty well [[function]] within those capacities effectively.  It would seem “If it ain’t broke, don’t try to fix it.”  But sometimes, making that extra effort, going that extra mile – just one more push up – will set a new record toward your sense of accomplishment.
