Did you set yourself a new year's resolution last year but find that you are still stuck in the same old job, not earning that extra income, not gone for the dream holiday, have not lost any weight, still not quit smoking etc? Most of us begin the year by setting big ambitious new year resolutions, but how many people actually realize these goals? It's not because you are unlucky or that opportunities have not been given to you but chances are that the main reason that nothing has changed nor improved in your life is that your actions have not changed.
Definition of insanity:
"DOING THE SAME THINGS BUT EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS"
Many of us are set in our old ways and habits and go about our daily life in some sort of set routine. Can you recall the last time that you were spontaneous and tried doing something differently? I bet that most adults would have difficulty recalling such an instance as people are creatures of habit and old habits really die hard. Back when we were kids we would not think twice of jumping into a rain puddle to make a big splash just for the fun of it. But as adults, we would hesitate and worry that our clothes will get wet, we would slip and fall, and we catch a cold etc etc.
However, in order to achieve a new goal, the status quo will need to change in order to get a new result. Before we start planning to achieve the big hairy audacious goals that we have for this year, lets just start with ONE simple action that you start of doing immediately to easily condition ourselves for a something bigger.
DO SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY!
First and foremost, remember that in order to achieve a different result, you must take a different action! Start by making small changes and adding more spontaneity to your daily routine. For examples, change the route that you take to work everyday, take the time to greet that next door neighbor instead of avoiding eye contact, try a new restaurant for lunch instead of the usual one that you patronize. In fact, make the extra effort to try anything that is new and you might just begin to see everything in a new light and discover more about yourself than you ever knew before!
Let's be a kid once again and jump into that puddle! See life as a new adventure everyday and I'm sure attaining success with your new year resolutions will no longer be a problem!
