Resolution Assessment

Sunday January 24th 2010

24 days have gone by since the New Year landed. 24 days since we made our resolutions. Did 3 weeks pass by and already we have gone back to old habits. Forgotten the bloody resolutions already??? Old habits die hard!
This year I will not surrender so easily. I made such great progress last year and I need to push on.
Self control contributes to not only physical health but mental health as well.
What ever work we attempt cannot be perfectly done unless our minds are tranquil and calm; happiness cannot be attained from it. For one who is without peace, where is the happiness? Its all about will power isn’t it. Its no fun it hurts, I’m lazy, it’s cold, it looks good, and I’m hungry…. All the excuses are good
In the same way as, with courage and enterprise, a trainer catches hold of a wild dangerous animal, and slowly tames and finally brings it under control, so too will your will power.
Will power must be cultivated. One must not give in and must work hard to achieve what he wants. For hard work will be compensated with victory and strength.
You should not listen to nor become discouraged by, words of those who are ignorant and too lethargic to bring their bodies and mind under control and fulfill their dreams.

Take a look at your resolution and see why you aren’t doing better or why you stopped, why you didn’t even try.
Ask yourself why you made those resolutions to begin with?? If you wanted to change something doesn’t that mean you aren’t comfortable with that aspect of your life??
For one who is without peace, where is the happiness?

New Year Resolutions

Happy New Years !!!

I hope you all had a nice holiday season. May 2010 bring you all health & prosperity.
The new year is always a good time for resolutions, which last about 2 weeks and then its back to normal. We find our selves making the same resolution year after year.
I've made my usual list of 10 things i want to improve on and things i didn't get around to do in the previous year.
Last year was my first try at resolution. I found that you are better making resolution for 6 months and then revise them. This gives you chance to review and amend some of your resolutions.

Writing your resolutions down is very helpful. Write them and post them in several places where you will see them often. This will remind you of your resolutions and keep you going. It will be hard work. But think to your self, "Do your addictions control you or do you control your addictions"??
Write that down also, so you can see it and remind your self of your goals.

To my good friend Roberto, whom is undertaking a major resolution, I'm wishing him all the best in his quest. I will be there to support, encourage and help whenever you need !!! You're off to a good start keep working hard, i know you can do it.

If you have any resolution you would like to share, comments, or tricks to achieve our goals it would be great to hear them.
