![]() ![]() ![]() Successfully achieving your New Year’s Resolutions requires building a positive environment that supports your desired aims. However, unfortunately, that’s not all that is required. I guess, looking at it this way, the road to achieving your New Year’s Resolutions doesn’t look so easy. For instance, change must take place in the way they do things, in the habits that they indulge in, in the way they view their world and circumstances, in the way they set their priorities, etc. They have no idea because they don’t realize that to achieve the desired aim requires “change” to take place within themselves. You, therefore, cannot just decide on New Year’s Eve to set some New Year’s Resolutions in motion and expect that you realistically know what it takes to achieve them. Well, these results only come “as a result” of a change in behavior, perspective, priorities, and often beliefs. Patience allows you to commit to long-term results and outcomes, and not get discouraged by short-term obstacles and setbacks. And that is of course when patience comes into the picture. ![]() Sometimes you can put in a lot of effort, time and energy for very little return (at the least it seems that way). However, when it comes to the process of change it’s important that we understand that change takes time, it takes energy, it takes effort and a lot of patience on your part. Only through change “within yourself” can you expect for change to take place outside of yourself. In other words, you must be willing to change… YOURSELF. And for things to change, you must be open and willing to accept change. After all, achieving your New Year’s Resolutions will require that things change in your life. When you fully commit to doing something you “at that moment” acknowledge that you will allow for change to take place. A half-hearted commitment is only wishful thinking and will get us nowhere. What matters is for us to get a better understanding of what it really takes to achieve our desired aims.įor starters, we must understand that any New Year’s Resolution we set in motion will require a full commitment on our part. But hang on a moment… other studies have proven that willpower is all in our heads, or in other words, just a state of mind. So now I’m confused? Is it finite or infinite? Honestly, I don’t think it matters. Maybe that’s why we fail to stick with it for the long-haul. However, studies have proven that our willpower is a finite resource. There is no doubt that it takes a little willpower to achieve your desired objectives. Just maybe they don’t have what it takes to achieve their desired aims for the year? Maybe… The Reasons Why People Fail to Achieve their New Year’s Resolutionsīut why? Why do some people continuously fail to achieve their New Year’s Resolutions year after year? What is missing? What are they doing wrong? Are they just unlucky? Do they simply lack willpower? Maybe these people are just lazy. If you belong to this second category of people then, unfortunately, your chances of success for the coming year are much lower than 10 percent. And then there are those who almost never (or have never) achieved their New Year’s Resolutions. You see, there are those people who consistently achieve their New Year’s Resolutions almost every single year. But in reality, it could be much lower than that. □ In fact, your likelihood of success is roughly 10 percent. And as a result, the likelihood of your success is very minimal, and you will no doubt end up feeling miserable as a result. I’m of course not trying to “pop your balloon” by making you feel as though there is no hope in the world of ever achieving your desired aims, but statistics do not lie. Yes, you might very well be motivated to achieve those New Year’s goals today, tomorrow, next week, and maybe even for the whole month of January, but the reality is that you will end up a statistic (just like most) and join the ever-growing number of people who will give up on their New Year’s Resolutions this year. Write a good one. – Brad Paisley The Odds Are Stacked Against You…ĭid you know that only 8 percent (or maybe it’s 12 percent) of people end up accomplishing their New Year’s Resolutions? That means that 92 (or 88) out of 100 New Year’s Resolutions end in incomplete and utter failure. ![]() Tomorrow, is the first blank page of a 365 page book. ![]()
