\nI\u2019m tired of listening to people complain that, \u201cNew Year\u2019s resolutions don\u2019t work.\u201d
\nNew Year\u2019s resolutions work just fine \u2013 if you do the hard work necessary to make them work.
\nThere\u2019s a difference between a wish and a resolution, but I think most people forget this\u00a0fact. Most people create a list of resolutions in the same way they make birthday wishes and then they hope and wish the resolutions one day come true.
\nIt doesn\u2019t work that way. You\u2019ve got to make a resolution, create a plan, and then work your tail off.
\nBut you don\u2019t. Instead\u2026
\nYou make excuses.
\nYou rationalize.
\nYou blame others.
\nYou blame outside influences.
\nYou slip.
\nYou diverge.
\nYou meander.
\nYou cheat.
\nYou delay.
\nYou lie to yourself.
\nYou give in.
\nYou give up.
\nThe bottom line: New Year\u2019s resolutions don\u2019t work because you don\u2019t. Or, because you aren\u2019t willing to.
\nThis year, tip the odds in your favor by doing things differently. Really think through your strategy. Review your resolutions from last year. What worked? What didn\u2019t? Why?
\nHere’s a list of what it takes to make your resolutions work:<\/strong><\/p>\n
