The Truth About New Year’s Resolutions

If I asked you to name the top ten things that people make New Year’s Resolutions about could you do it?  I bet you can. Get a sheet of paper and jot down the ones that come to mind before you read any further.  (Answers at bottom of page)

Now ask yourself how many people end up achieving the goals they set for themselves on New Year’s Eve.  My guess is, not many.

Why? Because wanting to do something is a whole lot easier than actually putting forth the effort to achieve your dreams.

One of my favorite quotes of all time is something that President Calvin Coolidge once said.

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

Happy New Year to all my NanaHood friends. My wish for you in 2011 is that you will have the persistence and determination to pursue your goals and that God will grant you good health and much happiness in the coming year!
