4. To make yourself and your loved ones happy
Why do people take New Year resolutions? Why do people decide to accomplish something new every year? It is essentially to make themselves and the people around them happy. If you think you have irked your mother enough last year with all your bad habits, it is time to let them go and make her a happy person. The same could apply to your boyfriend, husband, boss, colleague or best friend.
5. To see that life is full of possibilities

Free yourself of the chains of the past and embrace the potential of the future.
6. To cut yourself some slack

This New Year, cut yourself some slack and let your mistakes disappear with the old year.
