Like many others, for a very long time, I was a New-Year's-Resolutions-maker. I would sit down, think seriously for some time, then write a list of the things I was going to accomplish in the coming year. I would even craft elaborate plans about how I was going to achieve each item on my list.
However, as the year progressed, I would lose focus or interest and many of my resolutions would become distant memories until the next new year. :(
I've decided to break this cycle! From now on, I make New Year's "Evolutions"!
Why? Because every success I've had in my life has come as a result of being willing to change!
For my New Year's Evolutions:
- I will evolve to reach the end goals
- Evolving takes an indeterminate amount time, so I will not feel pressure to complete evolutions within a given time frame. They will be done when they are done
- Evolution usually leads to something better so any progress I make will be a positive change in my life
- Evolution is natural so the changes I need to make to fulfill an evolution should also feel natural
- I will get the help of as many people as necessary to achieve each evolution
- I will evolve faster by being willing to make changes to changes I've already made
- ... you get the point
I've always hated making a New Year's list.... until now. ;)
