For New Year's 2011, Say "Yes" to Goals and "No" to Resolutions

Every year at this time we think about the past and think about what the future holds for us. Some think that 2012 will be our last. If this is true, what can we do about it? What do we do if it is not?

We have made ​​a New Year's resolutions in the past, only to be crushed within days, and we heard that it is better that they should not, better not go to something that is almost certainly fail.

Is it better to have no hope and wishes for the year? Is it better to expect the new year hold no promise of better things to come? friend's mother thinks so. When I was a young man, she said "It is better not to expect good things because then you will not be disappointed. " However, this method does not work well for her. She did not expect good things, got exactly what she expected, very few good things and she was always disappointed!

New Year's resolutions are not the same as the goals. Resolution of the profession, as he had promised to quit smoking or eating certain foods, or start exercising every day. With them, a breakdown breaks vow and makes you a failure. New Year's resolutions are a bad idea.

goals are not the same. The goals are to destination, and we arrived to the destination one step at a time. Most often, it's a bit back and forth a bit, until we get more steps forward than back. Real progress comes with persistence and we get into the habit of compliance moving forward. The most important goals are not achieved in one step.

This year, instead of decisions that you know are doomed to fail, sit down and put on paper what you would like to have happen if your hard work and the results you want.
