New Year Resolution

For me make a resolution, we are resolving to do something we are not yet doing. Why aren’t we doing it? There must be reasons. It may be difficult to do, involve some efforts we have to make, or sacrifices we have to carry out. So, expect resistance. Prepare for it. Accept the short-term pain for the long-term gain. After sticking to our resolution for a month or two, it will become a habit and much easier to carry out. So, it will no longer be a matter of working harder, but of developing good habits which will propel you forward. Keep your eyes on the goal and anticipate the success that is yours.
"I hope to spend more time with my family, will have at least two family vacations of at least four days each this year."
For me impossible is a word which we find in fools dictionary.
This year I’m getting married. I want to support my husband on all his ups and downs. And also want to take care of my parents and in-la’s.
I do it for myself. I don’t want to be pressured into anything to succeed; my plan must be a passionate one. How can I be passionate about something i don’t want to do? Decide on what I WANT from life and focus on those goals. Granted, there may be things I should be doing, but don’t want to. The good news is that as I accomplish goals I WANT, I develop self-discipline. In other words, I’ll have the strength to work on bigger goals later.Because I cannot accomplish everything at once, I need patience, focus, and persistence. As I monitor my progress and see the progress I’m making, no matter how small, it will be enough to motivate me to continue. If I come across bumps in the road, I don’t be discouraged. Just pick myself up and continue.

  2. Congrats on marriage proposal. I agree with you 100%. I don't think that people should have to force anyone to accomplish their own goals, especially personal goals, and frankly, the ones that you have set for yourself are durable.
