Happy New Year, everyone! 2017 has arrived!
I’ve been watching social media posts over the last few days and – as always – the common theme seems to be “new goals for a new year.”
For me, setting and implementing goals is not a one-time a year event, but rather a lifestyle of continual growth — achievement by achievement — to improve my potential year after year.
Do I succeed all the time? NOPE! Failure is typically part of the process. But when something is important to me I keep moving past my failures and work towards the result I’m seeking until I achieve it in some form. The only time that doesn’t happen is when I lack the true commitment needed to achieve it.
Without true commitment, all you have is a good intention….and good intentions aren’t enough. Only deep commitment towards a desired result assures success over time!
May I suggest this year that you FORGET GOALS and instead MAKE COMMITMENTS?
That minor adjustment in wording will (hopefully!) make it a bit harder for you to rationalize whatever excuses come up as you work towards the desired results you strive to achieve this year (remember, excuses are easily rationalized with a good intention…but not so easily with a commitment).
I’d love your feedback. Please share your top 2017 goal and your thoughts about this blog post in the comment section below.
Wishing you much success and many blessings in 2017!
