As another year has ended, many people are thinking
about their New Year’s resolutions.
Not me… or at least not anymore.
80+% of New Year’s resolutions ever made,
the majority of those have usually gone by the wayside (read
‘failed’) by February.
Resolutions fail for many different reasons,
including:
- Failure to be specific about goals
- Inadequate time or resources to invest
- Feeling overwhelmed by the task
- Not really caring enough about achieving the goal, and...
- Not knowing how to achieve the goal
In my opinion, the last reason on the list
above seems to be the most prevalent for failure to accomplish a goal.
For example, if, having never drawn a stick
figure, I decided that this was the year I was going to fulfill my long-held
desire to ‘paint a landscape’, there are many things I’ll have to learn before
I apply paint to paper… or would that be canvas?
Can you see the problem?
Anyway, I hope you too will dump the New Year’s Resolutions in favor of kindly and gently inviting yourself to learn something new. Something that you can look forward to doing, get excited about and most of all, ENJOY doing!
