Why Wait Until New Year To Make A Resolution?

Here's a little exercise you might like to try. It will change your life.

Pick 5 things you'd like to achieve in the next 3 months. 

• No really, play the game!  Write them down. 
  

• Now ask yourself, are they potentially achievable?
• If yes, then ask yourself, do you really, really want to achieve them?
• The achievement of which 2 two would have the greatest impact on your life?
• 
  
• Here's the deal breaker. Imagine there are no maybe options, that from now on there are only yes and no options available to you. Can you make a Yes or No decision this instant that you will find a way to achieve your top two goals within 3 months?

Most people don't fail to achieve their goals in life, they simply defer thinking about them and pretend that next week, next year, someday the exact perfect moment will arrive and Bingo! Voila! Hey Presto you'll attain your goal.


Deep down we know it's self delusion, but at least it allows us to stay snuggled up in the prison of our comfort zone.


Here's an example:

• You've always wanted to see in New year in New York but.....
• You've stacked on about 10k's in the last few years but....
• You've wanted to reconnect with some old friends or family members but...
• You've wanted to quit your job but....
• You've wanted to start dating again but....
• You've wanted to write a novel but...

Everything that follows the but.... is the limitation that will forever incapacitate and kill our ability to succeed.


So what's this all got to do with a Blog for over 40s online?

Get off your but (pun intended) make a decision today, now. It takes a spit second to make a decision and an eternity to avoid, and understand that we live in a world of unimaginable resources a mere click away, to encourage, inform, inspire,  and motivate you to achieve literally anything you want.


My father went from being an 80 a day smoker to a non-smoker in an instant. As a child I remember the day he said that's my last cigarette, I'm now a non smoker. No fanfare just a decision. There is nothing that you truly want to achieve that hasn't been accomplished by someone more unfortunate than you or I? Make a decision, then figuring out the HOW is pretty easy. This forum is offered as a resource for like minded people to co-inspire, motivate, share strategies and connect in the common goal of achieving our goals.


Let me know what your top 2 aspirations are for the next 3 months, I'd love to hear your story and perhaps contribute to your success.
