A New Year, A New Goal

We are almost through the first month of 2015.  Can you believe it?!  How are your New Year’s resolutions coming along?

Many people made their new year’s resolutions:
-        Lose weight
-        Exercise more
-        Spend less money
Whatever it may be, unfortunately, the statistics show that about only 8% of people, who made resolutions, will be successful in achieving them.  How many of those people are making the same resolution that they made the year before, and the year before that?  Probably 95%.  Many people do not see these resolutions as a change that needs to happen in their whole lifestyle.  Rather these resolutions are viewed as additional activities that can be done in a day. 

Back in the day, I used to make crazy resolutions that would require so much change and determination that I was doomed before I ever began.  Over time I figured out that the goals I was setting for the New Year needed to be tangible and obtainable based on my willingness to CHANGE.  And I mean, make a real change.  This is not to say that you shouldn’t set challenging resolutions, but rather examine your life and willingness to make the necessary changes to be successful in achieving your resolutions. 

I do not make resolutions for the New Year anymore.  The beginning of the year does not represent a fresh beginning for me.  Our past follows us to the next year.  By starting to make a change, is positive at any time, but I don’t feel that the New Year, for me, is the best time to make change or set goals.  I have started to continuously examine my life throughout the year to see what is working and what is not.  It is easier to start making changes (real change) when I realize that something could be better, I could be happier, be healthier, etc.  Through great reflection, I have started to make small changes that allow me to get closer to my goals by incorporating these changes into my daily routine and making it a way of life.

Have you been able to successfully achieve your resolution thus far into the year? If so, please share some of your tips that helped you incorporate the New Year’s goals into your life.  If not, it is only the beginning of the year, and the rest of the year awaits for you to make some real change in your life, within your community and more.

Best,

MJ

Setting a new goal every year is very important. Personally, I try to make us much goals as I can every year. In my opinion, you can never go wrong with having too many goals. Having many goals means that you have a lot to accomplish. I do not know if this is the same for everyone, but having a lot of goals really motivates me. Whenever I am motivated, I feel like no one in the world can stop me.
