If there is considerable difference in resolving to do something and actually doing it, then why resolve at all? Why not just do it? I suppose there are times when this is proper, but it also seems to me that resolving is an important part of renewing our mind to some action we think is proper. Our actions often flow from what we affirm. There are times when we act on what we call second-nature--a learned behavior--which after time, the ease of doing so is hardly noticed. I dare say that nothing is done second-nature that we did not at some point consciously resolve to do. It is wise to think through actions we want to become second-nature before they are.
