Have you made your New Year Resolutions?
Resolutions have a power of their own. To achieve them, to make them happen, you need to follow what Daniel Goleman suggested about FOCUS. Yes, that is what takes you there, wherever you want to reach.
Focus leads to discipline. Discipline requires focus!
For the last 2 years (2017 and 2018) I failed to focus on one goal I had in both the years. It was to complete the German course in Babbel. I kept re-subscribing, paying money, but procrastinating again and again. So, this year I have begun with Focus and Discipline, so much so, that I have completed more lessons in 4 days than what I had in 2 years!
If you have been procrastinating like me, just write down one most important resolution and just do it. No excuses. Just do it!
Your resolution must have a timeline, a deadline, and a routine. If you are disciplined you will follow the routine. In sports, champions are not made because of talent, they are made because of a timeline, a deadline and a routine to reach the goal. In music, there are superstars because of the same reasons. In every aspect of life this is what works.
Remind yourself everyday that you have a goal. Put some reminders every week, maybe even everyday. Ensure that you push yourself into the habit of following that routine. In no time the effort required in the routine would reduce, and you would sail smoothly through. The first few steps, the first few days in the routine, the first few challenges are all that you need to focus on initially. That is the acceleration. Then you reach autopilot and cruise.
So, this year, 2020, set your destination, chart the path, and just take off. I am sure you will land safely where you want to go. All the best!
