This year I had a goal to spend the entire year pushing myself physically. I, like most folks, set New Year’s resolutions that I sheepishly admit do not make it past February. I was determined that this would not happen in 2009. I am proud to say with much adulation, I have kept my goal. I workout just about everyday, I have been attending Spin Class (Still Bike) twice a week since January (three times some weeks) and my strength has increased to a level I have not seen since my college years. I am now in cruise control with my workouts, for they have become habitual.
It does not matter if it is a workout; business plan or financial goal, personal accountability towards the goal is the only way you are going to stay with it. Your resolve has to be larger than your excuses. A goal without accountability is like a car without the wheels. You can have all of the ambition in the world, but you will go nowhere. The same process I have implemented for my workouts I am now applying to other areas of my life. I expect to see the same results in these areas as well.
When the New Year arrives, this time do not make a resolution, make a resolve. Your resolve to do something gets stronger the more you do it. We are often our own greatest hindrances so do not allow you to stop you! Push yourself out of your comfort zone. Once this mindset becomes a habit, you can and will achieve any realistic goal you set.
