It seems like just the other day that we marked the beginning of a new millennium. And now the first decade of the millennium is coming to a close. Do we make new decade resolutions as we make new year resolutions?

I really have no answer to that. I have had enough failures and disappointments in one year even without thinking of the decade. Sorry, don’t mean to sound pessimistic. It’s just how it is. As they say, success is failure turned inside out.

You may have had your own failures and disappointments. May be you did not find your soul mate or marriage partner. One of the most common new year resolutions (somewhere up there with “lose 10 pounds”, “get out of debt” and “earn more money”) is to find love or become a better lover. If you did not make it 2010, you still have a chance in 2011.

But remember that in most things in life, it is about the journey not destination. Even the happiest relationship has to be natured consistently to keep that. And life has a way of throwing us curve balls.

And if you find yourself straying from your goals, or with a broken resolution or two down the road, remember that each day is a new beginning.

Wish you happy holidays and a most prosperous and new year and decade with lots of love and happiness.

Here in the US, we're just a few hours away from ushering in the New Year, 2008. Those in the Western coast are closer, those in the Pacific Islands such as Hawaii even more so.

As we reflect on our lives during the year 2007, we cannot help but think of the things that did not go our way, or that we could have done better. It is just human nature, to think more of the things that don't are not right than those which are.

On the positive side, it is the things that we did not do well, or well enough that inspire us to do better next time. This is the basic reason for making all those New Year resolutions: to make an improvement. And it is good.

I'm not against New Year resolutions, but to me everyday should be a new beginning. Most New Year resolutions get broken somewhere along the way. But once one decides that every day is a new beginning, you can always pick up from where you left off, or start something new altogether. All the same, don't let this be an excuse for not sticking to your resolutions.

No dating luck in 2007? My hope and wish is that he/she comes into your life in 2008 (or even sooner). Acceptance that you do need someone in your life is the very first step towards attracting him/her to you and you to him/her.

The next step is to take action. Be proactive. Go out there and meet people. Sign up with a reputable dating site if you have not already done so.

If you have signed up with a dating service, ask yourself if it is the right one for you. You see, some specialty dating site might help you get the right person than general dating sites. There are dating sites for serious or casual dating. There are sites for senior (or mature) dating, for dog lovers, bike lovers, gay or lesbian dating (the list is endless).

Maybe all you need is to tweak you personal profile. Reading up on the subject might help.

And above all, don’t give up. Love is too good a thing to give up on. The right person is out there. You just need a way to meet her/him.

Wishing you a most happy and prosperous New Year, filled with love.

Sincerely,

David
