In just nine days we ring in the New Year! Are you looking forward to a fresh start, a new year in which you'll have 365 opportunities to achieve your New Year resolution - your dream? Maybe you really want to achieve your dream, but unfortunately you're one of the folks who practices the 'make em, break em' strategy of achieving resolutions. You jot down a list of 10-20 things that you want to change in your life, then promptly bury it somewhere on your desk where it's ignored for the rest of the year. If you sincerely want to achieve your resolution please open your mind and consider an alternative to the 'tried and failed' method pursuing New Year resolutions. Consider the possibility that it's time to change the way you approach the practice of making and keeping New Year Resolutions.
Do me a favor. Take a peek over your shoulder. See that huge boulder chained to your back, that long list of 10-20 New Year Resolutions that you made January 1, 2006. That boulder, in the form of all those resolutions is a well inteded weight that many of us carry around. Well intended because change, achievement, self improvement are all healthy, worthwhile, productive goals. But the weight of that huge boulder, that long list of resolutions, often makes us tired, overwhelmed, or bored, and it and slows true progress toward achieving our dreams. Sometimes that weight forces us to give up. We were unrealistic in making that long list. We set the bar too high. Maybe it's time to lower the bar just a little, so we can learn how to soar over it.
Get rid of the boulder on your back! Cut the chains and it and let it roll back down the hill. Forget about making a long list of 10-20 resolutions for 2007. Instead, lighten the load. Grab your water bottle, snacks, a light jacket, and a good pair of tennis shoes. If you're going to hike up the mountain toward the pinnacle of success in 2007 - make that journey with just one resolution, a dream about which you are truly passionate. A resolution that makes you excited, something that you want to 'do' each and every day. And if that's not realistic, a resolution that you can pursue a few days each week for one year - committment and daily, weekly, monthly devotion are among the keys to success.
