people make resolutions acccording to the calendar months, passing from one to another year.
starting one’s new year from one’s birthday can be a good thing.
so that each year on the birthdays, the person can look back and seewhat s/he over came and somethings they lose is not that bad or someone who uttterly leaves, are all perhaps one more sign that better times will come, soon.
one needs to be honest, caring, reliable and consistent and brave, though.
any thoughts?

Yes its a very good idea ... people should make resolutions as it keeps them on track and keeps them in check what they ve been upto thru their life and what bad they ve done and .. they make new resolutions by looking in the past and see what they can change ... in the future and what they can do better .. end of the day .. life of a person is all based on Usools and if the methods and guidelines are not followed then the person will go off track and ... and if a person is really sincere they will know that they willbe accountable for everything they do on the day of judgement .. so its good that a person knows in advance what his / her short time plans are and what he / she wants to achieve in the long run ...
Theres a hadith of the Prophet SAW that : "A beleiver in this world is like a traveller taking shade under a tree" .. basically what this means is what i said ... were here only for a short time and we should focus more on the actual destination where we want to go .. and that is Jannat ...
its like a person catches a train from london to scotland ... and he has to change trains at Doncaster ... and at Doncaster he orders 52 '' Widescreen TV, sofas gets laminate flooring done at the platform and he even gets the decorators to get the walls done and what not yet! he knows his destination is Scotland ... so its a lil silly of him to settle down .. at the Temporary place ...there fore we should have our aims and goals in advance and we know what we are doing every step of our life ... :)

Re: birthdays - janam din
u make sense in what you said about principles.
unfortunately, some people who are given all the ability to get to know the principles and the person, who upholds them, gets brutally caught in the confusion of out wardhardness and miss the point of that.
even though, that person's principles are understood really well.
consistency is not the most easy things to have.
irritation and friction comes in to add agony to a tight situation
and people do not stand up to the calling of a tough time.
so what you said, about making resloutions, must come with a clear conscience.
and the change can be brought on any moment, as long as people remember the good ness and the comfort of achieving some aim, in a timely manner.
everything is life, comes with a risk
from choosing a living space to making a family and or doing social good through one's work.
keeping things simple: directly visible, hearable, in a good sensable way can clear up a lot in a faltering and damaging anything - a life or a relationship, with someone who knew nothing better to come and then leave.
coming closer to positive things in life, is also one good way to make the best of one's passing years.
it coould be one's resolve to mend one's link with the Maker and its other creatures.
the good and the bad of the life, and the life experiences, must lead to something good and that good must come in its due time.
rest is up to Almighty as to what is in store for any one of us.
may it be only good and may we all learn from our hasty and faulty mistakes.
may we begin to recognize what we lose, and we could save, and how we can save it.
amen.
