prep this time . Feeling better with finances , finally saving for the future , investing . Or perhaps taking yourself out of a bad situation in life , relationship or work environment that hurts you not helps you . Again , to my two main questions , do you make New Year ’ s resolutions , and if so , are they intended to change a major , and very important part of your life that you are not happy with ? OK think about that for a minute take a pause .
Now you ’ ve thought about it , and if you ’ re one to make such resolutions on New Year ’ s . Do you know where they are going to be in a month ’ s time ? Will you be crushing them or will they have faded and be put in the warehouse to start next January ? If so now , here today , What ’ s stopping you , for making daily micro adjustments , corrections to living better . What has stopped you on all of the 364 days before January 1 . When , all you have to do , you just have to start right ? Right now ! DO IT ! Instead of Making January 1 this day of all or nothing . This is a largely flawed strategy , when making changes that produce necessary and essential corrective , disciplined actions . I ’ m not saying that Ive never been a planner of New Year ’ s resolutions earlier in my life . As a matter of fact , I have set forth New Year ’ s resolutions , as a much younger man , many times . Started a few , did not follow through , not with one , consistently . I found that with Each from inception , until , incompletion was revolving . Yep each incomplete resolution , took the right back to where I started . My personal experience , and experiences that I have been privy to with many hundreds of New Year ’ s resolution prone clients , over my 20-year career . Has been exactly that revolving .
Ok , you may say you make resolutions and they ’ re successful . I ’ m not saying that ’ s impossible , nor will I argue on that . It ’ s for you to do some deep in a reflection on . So , to those select few that are capable of making life-changing resolutions in one day and sticking to them . Power to you ! I ’ m thoroughly impressed . However , to us mere mortals , I ’ m speaking to us primarily . For us fall short soon after beginning , how long do they last ? Do you talk a big game , telling yourself your spouse , your friends all of the things that you ’ re going to do to correct your course ? Then 1 January goes by and … you were you too hung over or busy busy , “ I ’ ll start tomorrow , for sure ”, “ I was sick , hung over for New Year ’ s Eve , tired ”. Lots of excuses can roll around can ’ t they . Or did you get a couple of days or weeks deep before the “ turnstile of daily discipline lacking intentions , brought you back to the beginning of why you started . Ultimately do you believe New Year ’ s resolutions work ?
So , paying credit again , if you are a person that makes yearly resolutions , that sticks to them corrects course and produces ample return on your investment
