“What do I have to do to get this?”
A question people commonly ask themselves, particularly around this time of year when new goals and resolutions are being set. It is all about making sure that we do better so that we can also receive the benefit after the hard work.
The whole idea of New Year’s resolution had transformed greatly over time but the earliest known form of this was during the time of the state of Babylonia. When the time was right to plant their crops, people would confirm their dedication to their gods during religious festivals. Babylonians would make sure that they repaid the gods anything that they owed in an effort to remain in their favour.
