New Years Resolutions. I reflect on this topic every year. I won't lie, I can't think of a time where I can tell you I had success in this area on this specific year. BUT--that won't stop me from making some goals. Writing them down.
If anything, I'd say my success rate wasn't higher due to one annoying little factor: discipline. Typically, my resolution involves being healthier. Including losing a few pounds, making better food choices and exercising. I mean, that's just one resolution, there are definitely others, but we'll focus on just the one for now. Why do I never accomplish this goal? Is ultimately satisfying my fleshly hunger more important than being healthy? Why does this seem to come SO much easier to others? I've read books, I know what it takes.
Well, all this being said: I've changed my resolution from weight loss to follow through, in a lot of areas. More proactive. More intentional.
Instead of saying, "I wish I could fit into this" eat an apple. Instead of saying, "I wish I didn't have so much debt" pack my frickin lunch.
Hopefully I'll be more successful this year, because I want to change my attitude and approach before changing certain areas. And through Christ, all things are possible. Without Him, it isn't. SO--thank goodness for a constant companion through my journey!
