New Year Resolutions and the Extra Mile
Anyway, it's that time of the year again, when you make your New Year's Resolutions - list of things you want or need to achieve for the year.
Apparently, more than 16 million British adults will be making one. Most people's resolution will also include items that appear on the list every year, things like weight loss, tackling finances, keeping fit and spending more time with loved ones.
It seems money amongst other things rank high in our lives, hence its regular occurrence on the resolution list. You might think this is the only reason, but there is one other. And it isn't because reducing debt, saving more or having more money is difficult either.
The other reason is this - failing to take action, taking small progressive steps to solve your problems and fulfil your needs. It is also the reason why a large percentage of people will not achieve their target. A fact documented by various studies. Did you know half of those who made a resolution at the start of 2006 gave up before six months, and about 2.2 million by the second day.
Maybe the goals set are not realistic or not wanted bad enough. Whatever the case, one thing is certain, most lack an action plan.
You would agree more important than having a list is the desire and will power to take action. Its something you hear all the time, but never take notice, going the extra mile really is the difference between having what you want or not.
If you are to achieve anything you will have to go a step further, you will have to take action. Everyone has a dream, but only those you take action achieve and live their dream.
