WHAT NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION HAVE YOU MADE?
Have you decided to eat better, lose weight, exercise, get in a relationship, get out of an unhealthy relationship, get married, study more, get closer to the Lord? Whatever it may be, make sure that your resolution isn't a illusion. Don't just cross your fingers and hope that it will happen! Life is what you make it, so make it happen! Be sure that you make it something believable, attainable, and realistic so that you have a chance in achieving your goal. Here are some hints on achieving a successful resolution.
1. Pray about your resolution to be sure that it is a vow to yourself that should be made. It isn't good when we make useless and damaging vows... either damaging to self or to others.
2. Make a baby steps priority list to help you to know where to begin and to stay on track.
2. Check it off as you do it. This will allow you to see where you've come from, how far you've gotten, and reminds you where you're going.
3. Every morning upon waking up, re-commit yourself to fulfill this resolution. Speak positive affirmations about what your plans are and how you are going to go about accomplishing it that day. Speak it into existence.
4. Believe it, believe in it so that your actions reflect that belief. If you don't think you are going to succeed... YOU WON'T! If you believe you will succeed, you will put all your efforts to do it and therefore the likelihood of you succeeding is exponentially greater... YOU WILL!
5. Revise your priority list as needed and review it daily as a reminder of the promise that you've made to yourself.
So, what resolution are you going to make? Make it and then don't give up. I listened to a sermon today that said "Stay On Board". It was about not giving up on God and on your faith when things get crazy hard. Things will definitely, at some point this year, get crazy difficult that will cause you to want to give in and give up. You may think that the entire world has caved in upon you and that everyone has abandoned you. DON'T GIVE UP! Don't let the cares of this world knock you off of your resolution. So often we don't succeed, not because we planned to fail but because we failed to plan. So, make yourself a plan and keep going. Stay on board with your decision and believe that you can make it through. You will be surprised, when you come to the end of the year, at how much you achieved.
I HAVE 3 NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS:
1. LOSE AN ADDITIONAL 20 POUNDS AND KEEP IT OFF.
2. DRAW CLOSER TO THE LORD. I ALREADY HAVE MY PRIORITY LIST IN MIND.
3. KEEP BETTER COMMUNICATION WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
I shared these with you because that will cause me to be more alert at being accountable to myself to follow through. If I remember, I'll keep you updated on how I'm doing on them.
