One of the greatest advises I’ve ever heard.
New Years’ resolutions don’t just happen. You don’t wake up January 1st and decide that “this” is what you’re going to resolve this year. If that’s how you do it, I have a bit of bad news for you.
A good resolution is one that has a chance to succeed. Like any other goal you make for yourself, it has to be planned, thought out, dissected, chewed up, spelled out, shared, and yes… written.
New Year’s Day is full of good intentions. We “resolve” to lose weight, to eat better, to exercise more. Maybe we want to be a better spouse or parent. Or it could be to improve our relationship with our employees, our employer, our customer or suppliers, our friends or neighbors. You may want to be a better communicator; to listen more and talk less.
If you belong to and regularly frequent a gym, you know that the first few weeks of the year the building is full of people with great intentions. Great intentions but no plans. You know this to be true because after a short period of time, the crowds return to normal, left with just those who are serious about their goals.
There’s no feeling like that of achieving a goal. A small one, medium or large one.
I challenge you to work on your New Year’s Resolution starting today. Isn’t there something you been itching to do? to accomplish? A change you wish to make? An item off your bucket list? I bet there is.
Think about this. Write it down. Set a date. Work it backwards. Spell out small steps you’re going to take today, tomorrow, this week, this month, etc. And yes… share your resolution! Tell the world, tell someone, just. tell. someone! Accountability is a wonderful thing.
