How Are You Doing With Your New Year Resolutions?

I have seen the studies that suggest that by the end of three weeks 90% of the folks that have made New Year resolutions have broken this pact with themselves and moved on to be the people they were before the ball dropped at midnight New Years. I'm wondering why that happens.

To me a resolution sounds like it's in concrete, it's a promise and once it has been broken there's no turning back, it's over, toast, stick a fork in it , done! So does that mean once we break this pact with ourselves we just revert back to who we were before, because we already broke our promise?

That's why I like goals so much better than resolutions. A goal is a commitment to work on yourself to improve over time and if we fail today that's ok because we have more opportunity to succeed tomorrow. With a goal we have hope, because, over time we can do anything we commit to. Once we make the decision to do something and believe that it can be done success is assured. If that doesn't muster up a little hope than what could?

Did you write out your 2010 goals? If you haven't done it now would be the time. This is serious stuff because once you take the time to write them down, look at them daily and start believing you can accomplish them, a power is unleashed and amazing things can happen in your life. Hope, believe, commit, and act on your goals this coming year and 2010 can be the most amazingly prosperous anf fulfilling year of your life. I hope this for you.
