Resolutions at the Drop of a Hat
Filed under: inspiration, motivation, quotes, self realization, personal growth
Wow, time flies … it feels as if I blinked and the holiday season was gone within a day to be replaced by the coming year. You know what they say.. time flies when you’re having fun.
The Magician’s Top Hat
Beginning a new year is always refreshing to me. The seasons begin again, and in the coming days we all have new opportunities to make life a grand experience. However, I’ve never really understood the ritual of creating and trying to force a resolution on yourself.
If you’re like me, I used to make a promise on the night of New Year’s eve and it didn’t have any heart behind it. I just picked one out of thin air, something akin to reaching into a hat filled with resolutions and just picking out. Random.
Finding the White Dove
There is a lot of responsibility in making a New Years Resolution because you are placing a request upon yourself to make a change in your life. Changes are never something to take likely, especially if they will alter your life in big ways. For example, if you’ve chosen to loss some weight in the coming year. This means you will be fighting a battle of willpower but there is also allot of thought and planning that goes into it.
You must pick a diet plan that suits you and then as time goes and you begin to succeed there are other thoughts and challenges to face. Like the new feelings of self worth and pride that can creep up when you feel better about how you look.
Rather than jumping head long into a decision at New Years give thought to a set of questions, and start into the new year with a plan for one thing to change. Then when that plan comes together attack it with all that the passion and intent you can muster.
Questions
To help you decide if a particular goal is something you truly want to see through I’ll offer this set of questions that I ask myself:
Do you have the intent of seeing it through?
Why do you want to see it through?
Do you know how these changes will affect you and is that something you are prepared for?
What will I have to do in order to see it through?
Are there risks involved? Am I willing to face them?
Those questions will give you the answers and the outlook you need in order to go after those resolutions with real vigor. So have at them and have a wonderful year! Resolutions are wonderful things if you intend to see them through.
