We make resolutions at New Years because we innately want the next year
to be better. The desire to be happy and to feel worthwhile is built
into us. We want to succeed. Anything that we resolve to do that is life-changing, is very difficult. As the saying goes, “We are creatures of habit.” It takes more than good intentions to change a habit. It takes thought and planning. This year, take your resolutions, one at a time, and break them down into small steps that, when put together, will make them attainable and will change your life.
What do you want for your life?
Friend.
Find a friend or someone who has your best interests in mind. Ask God
to send you someone.
Sample Goals:
Lose weight What causes me to gain weight?
The kind of food I’m eating? Pack a lunch. Between meal snacks? Pick up snacks that are low in calories and that are healthy. Get bottled water and choose that before the snack. Use the treadmill at 6 a.m. everyday. I will take a day off on Sunday. I will park farther out in the parking lot in order to walk more. I will use the stairs instead of the elevator whenever possible. Help others I will give monetarily to charitable organizations. I will give $xx.xx per week. I will write the check every Friday. Help an elderly neighbor Mow George’s lawn, without being asked every Saturday at 10:00. Visit someone every time I’m on my way to the store to ask what she needs. I will do this on Fridays. Visit xxxxx every week on Thursday for at least 15 minutes to chat. Serving at school, or a soup kitchen or at church. I will go once a month on Saturdays afternoon. What are your goal for next year? Make your list. Put it in writing and post a copy on your calendar, refrigerator or your computer or your bathroom mirror or all of those places. Review it often. You want to be successful. I want you to be successful. Most importantly, God wants you to be successful.
