A Goal for 2024!!

The start of a new year is always an opportunity for a fresh beginning, a new chapter, another chance to get it right. Why not take advantage of such a moment? 

John Norcross, a professor at the University of Scranton, has written on change and is an expert on New Year’s resolutions. He says that at the six months of a resolution, 40% of people are still keeping them. Furthermore, other research shows if you make the same resolution three years in a row, there is a high probability it will happen.  

Here is one resolution for this new year: 

Stop thinking either/or and start thinking both/and. Why couldn’t you have resolutions focused on your own life and on how you are going to help others? Both can certainly happen. This simple shift in the way you think could have an amazing impact on your life in the new year. 

You can focus on yourself and focus on others. If you were to focus on getting healthier, you could become a better parent to your children because you would have more energy. You could also live longer and be able to help more people because you have better health. 

A new year is a great opportunity because it is a fresh start, an exciting new chapter yet to be written about your life. It’s wise to take advantage of it. If you are not happy at the end of this new year and are frustrated — you should have made resolutions.

After evaluation and making a resolution, the process is not over; in fact, it has just begun. Diligence is required. Success lies in committing yourself to your resolution until you accomplish it. Lots of people have hopes and aspirations for many things that never happen because they are just not diligent enough to follow through.  

Evaluate your life, make resolutions, realize you’ll have setbacks, and be diligent with your goal(s).  

The result this year could be a new, better you.
