How to keep resolute in 2017

I asked a few people what their new year resolutions were and the general answer was, “ I don’t have any or I haven’t thought about it.” The new year has many people worrying about the past and how it might come to haunt them while others are worried about not fulfilling their goals. I wish I could tell you that I’m not one of them. The difference might be that I decided to focus on the things that are in my immediate control, things that I can fix on my own with little help from other people. This ensures that the achievement of most of the goals I set depend on me and me alone. Personal improvements for example, which some may look down upon, are very important for your development.

We can all jump on the bandwagon but without real commitment and persistence we are most likely not going to achieve our goals. “While about 75% of people stick to their goals for at least a week, less than half (46%) are still on target six months later, a 2002 study found” By alyssa sparacino

So how do we keep resolute?

Since most of us have the same problem when it comes to consistency.

Let’s start by creating a plan that is definite, a plan that is specific with objectives that are reasonable and achievable in a certain time that will be specified in the plan. Reading bestselling, “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoléon Hill you get learn how making a definite plan that is specified in time can help you keep resolute. In the book Napoléon Hill says that he learned the secret of success, from Andrew Carnegie, which says that creating a definite plan that is specific and then reading it out loud every day in the morning as well as at night before going to bed will ensure your success. Obviously doing this alone will not make you successful, you will have to work for each and every break through that you make.

I suggest that people do some introspection to evaluate their performance for the previous year, considering their short comings and aspects of their lives that need improvement. If you procrastinated and missed opportunities because of that, you can work on your timing and execution of the plans that you might have laid out.

What is your approach?

Do you think the traditional way of listing objectives for the year works?
