People make all kinds of resolutions;
lose weight, take a vacation, exercise, read more books, or call family and
friends more often. It seems there is something about January that entices
people to write new resolutions. January is the first month of a new year,
which can symbolize a new beginning, new hope, or a new start. Unfortunately, many
resolutions fail through the crack before the month reaches its 31st
day. It is amazing to see how one can go to such an extent to assign certain goals
into her life only to diminish them as simple wishes, or the thing in the past.
Some goals are too irrational to
reach, but others are quite specifics that if one really puts the mind into it,
they not only can happen but also can become very successful. So what is it
that is missing in the thought process of writing these goals that seems to fail
us from achieving them? It is like an adrenaline, one moment we see all the
possibilities of making these goals happen, we feel it through the core of our
being. Some, we can even touch, taste, and smell them. Another moment, it becomes
a thing in the past; we would even curse someone if we are asked how we are
doing with these goals. Usually the lacking thereof in our pursuit of these
goals is what can turn them into successful stories.
We cannot expect to attain a
different result if we keep doing the same old thing. Before we write our
resolutions for this year, maybe it would be wise to re-evaluate the ones we
had for the past years and determine what processes had worked and what had not
worked. Once we complete our evaluation and find our result, we are encouraged not
to repeat the same mistakes from last year but to use the successful ones as a
boastful attitude to achieve our new goals.
