2017
The year everyone has been waiting for... 2017!!! Janaury 1, day 1 of the new year as well as the "new me" infatution. This is the year that you actually will stick to your new years resolutions and induce positive change into your life...right? Well, now that the first week is over of the new year how are your resolutions coming along? Better yet, how much were you not looking forward to today (Monday)? If you are one of the people who are already descending in motivation and effort then this blog is for you. Why? There is a solution to your problem, and in return you could turn your whole life around with it. The first problem is that you are putting your success on pause due to the contingency of "a new year." In reality, the start of a new year has nothing to do with building better habits, making better decisions, making better investments, etc. Every day is an opportunity to improve in some sort of way of your choice, and results are not seen over night, as it takes awhile for the compound effect to take effect. Deciding to make better decisions or investments can start next monday, tomorrow morning, or even right now. This will then also put you ahead once the new year comes around again Which leads to the second problem. "New year new me." If this adage is broken down into it's simplest form, it divulges that you're going to start over. Do not start over, simply make changes and improve yourself, and set attainable goals. In analogy, lets use a business man. Lets say this business man owns a business and has met quite a few networking partners with whom he makes deals with often and meets new people through their networking circles. Now lets say "new year new me" literally means that January 1 our brains get reprogrammed and we lose all of our memory. The business man now has to start his business from scratch, meet new business partners again and build trust with them over time. So instead, change the adage to "New Year, Improved Me." Now with this adage the business man still has all of his business partners and is building more relationships through mutual networking of current business partners. Hence he may proliferate the success rate of his business.
Moral of the story is not to "keep starting over" every new year, and that your improvements should not be contingent of the new year. Every single day you should be improving your life in some way. So if you are already slacking on your resolutions, its ok because it is not too late to start back up on your road to success. Write down your goals, write down how you can accomplish your goals, and take action in completing them. However, the same way you do not lose 20lbs in a week, you do not see direct results after a couple days, weeks and sometimes even months or years, depending on the magnitude of the goal. The key is being consistent ALL THE TIME and letting your efforts compound and catch up to what you are trying to reach. Greatness is in you, but do not wait till January 1 as it has nothing to do with "a new start." It is simply a measure of time, that is all. Now go be great !! #BYV #STRIVE
