The most important investments require time. Setting and achieving a
resolution requires focus, effort, and commitment. Changing old
habits and developing new ones won't happen overnight. The following
four guidelines are meant to help you achieve all of your New Years
Resolutions:1. Focus on one resolution at a time: Divide and conquer the
activities to achieve your desired results. Break larger tasks into
smaller ones – each of these make up your Personal Resolution
Road map, a path to achieve your goal.2. Create a sense of accountability: Designate a friend, mentor, or
companion for sharing successes, monitoring progress, and offering
support. The benefit of involving others in your goals and plans is
instant access to experience, knowledge, and wisdom—it also raises
the bar of responsibility.Research indicates that one of the qualities of those who are
successful at making changes is that they have excellent support
systems. Many of those who make resolutions never tell others about
them. Consciously or subconsciously, that way if they fail no one
will view them as a failure.Communicating your resolution and intentions actually increases your
accountability to the behavior. From the very beginning it is
important to share your objectives and goals with those around you so
that you can enlist their support. Knowing that you are accountable
to someone other than yourself will help to keep you on track.3. Persist until completed: A resolution achieved is a stunning
example of consistency and hard work. If you fall behind schedule or
are sidetracked for any reason, refocus! Just don't give up! Don't
surrender to temptation, difficulty or temporary failure. Persist
until you achieve the goal.4. Cultivate personal integrity: Integrity gives you the oxygen
needed to cross the finish line of accomplishment. Your commitment
determines your level of success. This commitment boils down to two
essential tactics: daily action and review.Resolution BeginningsThe nuts and bolts of achieving any resolution are invariably the
same. Neither the size of the resolutions nor the person achieving it
matters. Successful New Year's Resolutions consist of the following:Clear Purpose – For a dream to become a goal, it must be specific.
Being thin is an image, losing 10 pounds by March 1 is a true
resolution. Be clear on what you want to achieve.Make a New Years Resolution that you have a real, bona fide
intention of keeping. The truth is most people have not made a
genuine, serious, no-kidding around- I-really-mean-to-do-this New
Years Resolution!In Writing – Describe precisely what you want, how you will earn it,
when you will have it, and the benefits you'll receive from achieving
your resolution. Write the details, but don't make it complex. When
you put it in writing, you increase your chances of moving to the
next step and increasing your level of commitment.Your mind, while blessed with permanent memory, is cursed with lousy
recall. Writing your resolution goes a long way towards achieving it.Commitment – Without commitment, you can say, "Farewell dream. Adios
potential. Toodleloo success. Hello Mediocrity!" Your resolution will
find a more deserving soul: someone with courage, character,
conviction... commitment.Commitment is not only habitual but also essential — it moves you
ever closer to your resolution and ultimate success. Commitment is
the heartbeat of your goal.Accountability Counts – commitment means you own it. You are
responsible for taking the resolution that's on paper and turning it
into a desired outcome. Owning it means tasking responsibility for
changes, risks, failures, and successes.Creating Your Resolution ListWrite down your list of New Year's Resolutions. Get them all out of
your head and down on paper.1.__________________________________________________2.__________________________________________________3.__________________________________________________4.__________________________________________________5.__________________________________________________6.__________________________________________________7.__________________________________________________8.__________________________________________________9.__________________________________________________10.__________________________________________________Focus, Focus, Focus!Does one resolution stand out? One that you are ready to go after.

question below, ask yourself if you're getting a green - go, yellow –
caution, or red - stop signal.If a caution or stop signal pops into your head, stop to ask why. It
might mean that this resolution isn't the right one to be focusing
on. The validation test will keep you motivated as you continue on
your resolution road trip.If the validation questions show you that this is the wrong
resolution for now, start over. Return to your original list, and
work through the process once again. It is wiser to focus on the
right resolution than to start one you're not committed to.Write down what comes to mind as you read through each question.
These notes will serve as a motivational tool for you when you are in
the middle of your resolution plan.Is This Resolution Part of My Personal Mission?_____________________________________________________Does this resolution align with my mission?
