Throw Away Your New Years Resolutions...DO THIS INSTEAD

in #mindset6 years ago

Throw away your new years resolutions.

They are for people who aren't committed to life long change. New Years resolutions are only for people who aren't serious about changing. If you really want to grow...If you really want a better life...If you really want to live a greater life than you are living...You will make a commitment to yourself. A personal OATH...That every day you will put the work in.

Every day when you lay your head down to sleep, you will know that you gave everything that day. You will know with zero doubt there was nothing left in your tank...If you really want a better life, you will commit to living that way every day. Not just making a small commitment once a year. If you don't let go of the struggle of your past, you will never experience the ease of your future. If you don't let go of the old you..you'll never grow into the new you.

Focus on who you will become. The new year is not going to save you..Only you can save you!
If you don't accept full responsibility for your life...no resolution, no goal, no dream will save you.You must take full responsibility for your life. For the good and, the ugly and inconvenient. You can lie to others about everything being ok...but look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself: Am I giving everything? Can I give more?

Taking responsibility doesn't mean relinquishing control of your life. It means taking control. It means accepting that your results to this point in your life are all on you. And rather than complaining and moan about what went wrong, figure out how to fix it. "What can I do now to beat this problem?"

Did you know that 80% of new years resolutions fail by February? 80%!
80% of people give up on their resolution after only a few weeks. 80% throw in the towel...
It can't be that important to you if you are giving up after a few weeks. Don't be like most people..You've gotta have a greater vision for your life! Something that inspires you to get up and attack the day. A compelling future that you see for yourself...that will ensure you do not give up when challenges appear. Your GOALS have to mean something to you!

It's weak to say you want something without having a reason why you want it! If you don't know why you will never have it! If you don't know why you will never fight for it. If you don't know why you will procrastinate...you will make excuses...you will quit...you will not get it! You will never get there If you don't know where "There" is. You have to have a clear target...a clear plan of how and when you are going to get it...and a clear reason why you must have it.
That's why new years resolutions don't work...There's no meaning.. They're usually just empty goals...You can't hit a target you can not see. You will never have it if it's not important to you.

Remind yourself: I am in control of my life. I decide what my future will look like...and I do that every day! I show that through my actions every day.

Really great post on the subject. But I have resolutions for the New Year. One of them is to be more active here... :-)

Greetings and good luck in 2019

I have tried throwing all of mine away but the only thing that I am hoping for is to be with someone. Not having any luck no matter what I do.
