Resolutions

 

With only 3 days left before NEW YEAR'S EVE, have you been doing any thinking about what your New Year's Resolutions might be?

Historically, 90% of the people who make resolutions never follow through with them 100%.  In fact, most resolutions are abandoned after the first 2-3 months of the new year.

WHY?

Good question.

• Some were not serious about the resolutions to begin with
• Some made the goals too far away to reach
• Some were serious but lost motivation and determination

When I turned 40 years old, I made the following resolutions:

• Stop smoking cigarettes
• Stop drinking alcohol
• Strop eating fried foods

All of this was done COLD TURKEY and I never looked back on the cigarettes and alcohol but do allow myself 1-2 cheeseburgers a year and 3-4 pizzas.

As I get older, no cheeseburgers at all and pizzas have dropped down to 1-2 annually.

My resolutions that I have been considering are:

• think before I speak
• try not to get angry
• Try not to raise my voice

There is a lifetime of doing things and many of us have programmed ourselves and in order to reach these goals one must first de-program oneself...  and this, my friend, is not all that easy.
