When I was instructing martial arts, my Master (a great man and mentor, RIP) would sit all of us down before the new year celebration and ask the same question twofold - personal life and professional life. As a younger man, I learned early-on that in order to succeed in your resolution, you must also include a plan to acheiving it. That plan must also be broken down into micro-managable tasks that are trackable and will assist you in your goal. We would reconvene the following year and compare how we did. Few met their own expectations, most failed. It was proven that those who failed to acheive had failed to plan. It was also reflected upon that even if you failed by using the greatest plan you could imagine, it did not mean the goal was unattainable. It simply meant that you needed assistance and to seek out a mentor.
Just some words I hope you find inspiring ... I did. Happy New Year!
