I'm excited about 2010. Things are looking up for the world, and I can't wait to be a part of great things to come. I'm especially excited about helping my clients achieve new heights and meet their goals.
Which makes me think of resolutions. Did you make any for 2010? If so, good.
Now modify them. Not change what you wish to achieve-- but rather, change how you're thinking about them. Remove the word "resolution" from your vocabulary. "Resolutions" have a way of fading away and leaving us frustrated:
- "I said I was going to lose 50 pounds and I didn't."
- "I wanted to find a new job, and I just can't."
- "I resolved to quit smoking and it's just so hard."
New Year's resolutions are, by their very nature, a recipe for failure. Instead, ask yourself:
- What are you committed to doing?
- What do you want to achieve?
- What do you need to do to get there?
- If you really want it, what are you committed to doing?
- What habits will you commit to change?
So what are you committed to doing differently this year?
