Is a resolution more of a goal or a declaration?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) December 23rd, 2010

Is a resolution more of a goal or a declaration? At the beginning of the year people make resolutions to lose weight, to get organized, to connect with family etc. Many resolutions seem like goals so why are they not called New Years Goals?

If they were called New Years Goals, then someone would be asking why they aren’t called New Years Resolutions.

It’s a declaration of a goal.

I agree with YARNLADY it’s the declaration of a goal.

I have resolved to try to reach the goals I’ve declared, and some I haven’t.

A “resolution” is easier to break than a goal.
