Easier said than done?
The resolutions sound perfect. But then why do so many realize, often in less than a month, that they are easier said than done?
“Goal-achievers think hard, decide how much time and money they will spend to achieve it, and listen to those who have already achieved the same goal. Failures, on the other hand, set goals only based on momentary spurs. So they naturally fail, when the feeling fades away after a few days."
“To be more specific, two big things take about 70 percent of the reasons people fail to achieve their resolutions ― the changelessness of their everyday life and the lack of will to get rid of bad habits.”
How to achieve them
Confronting reality, some simply surrender and say that New Year’s resolutions are good for nothing and are obstacles against even carrying on a satisfying life. However, asserted that without a goal there is no growth.
“One may have such an attitude after experiencing many failures. But it could bring further problems in attitudes towards life. Rather than stopping after a failure, one should find out why they failed and what more they should work on. Getting professional help is a good idea.”
There is nothing wrong to setting a seemingly unreachable goal. Setting a goal is most important because you learn something about yourself from it; what you are good at and what you need more practice on. That is what is more important than actually achieving or failing a goal.
