I Don't Make Resolutions on New Year's Day

Happy New Year!  I realise it is customary to make ‘resolutions’ to kick off the New Year.  It’s not my style.  It has been my experience that many people make resolutions that are fleeting, so I don’t make them.   I believe in making goals, however, but I don’t need a day on the calendar to tell me it’s time to start making changes.  

I make goals year round.  I am constantly evaluating, re-evaluating, and recommitting myself to my goals.  The only way to truly be resolute in your effort to improve your status in life, or to achieve all that you set out to achieve is to do it, and then do it again.  I also believe this is what makes one successful.  The constant re-commitment to goals and aspirations keeps you more focused and fresh energy exerted in your effort. 

It is okay if your goal changes.  Relax.  Your time line may not be as you expected, because the Universe has its way of getting involved.  Don’t be afraid to go after something because you ‘planned’ for it to happen in a different time frame.  

In massage school many years ago, the question was posed:  Can you eat an entire elephant?  The answer is ‘Yes, absolutely.’  How?  One bite at a time.

If you must be resolute, do so by committing yourself to evaluate your goals on a monthly basis.  This monthly reminder will help you decide  a few things.  One, if you’re making all the effort you should be.  Two, is this the direction you want to go in, and if so, how can you recommit yourself to maintaining and improving.  If not, figure out what can you do to that will make you happy and reaching your goal(s).  Finally, three, make sure it is making you happy.

Be healthy, wealthy and wise.  And when I say ‘wealthy’ I am most certainly not talking about monetarily, though it wouldn’t hurt if you were.  Sexy starts with me from the inside out.  Keep it sexy, keep it real, and love every moment!
