Resolutions Require Resolve

    A resolution requires resolve
      if the problem it is to solve

    A week or two just won’t do
      when a year’s required of you 

    Strength’s counsel, please admit
      Little setbacks can’t make you quit

    So, set your jaw, align your spine
      in 365, you’ll be just fine

Resolve to reevaluate your resolution after you make a complete revolution around the sun.

It is better to do it, then say you did it, and last convince yourself it was your resolution lol. Love how you wrote this Gershon, I wonder the percentage of people that fail of not completing their resolutions. Like the saying goes, "Action speak louder than words." Not too much action from the general public when it comes to resolutions, lol including myself...
