What if your New Year’s resolutions aren’t broken—but your perspective is?

Each January, we jump into the tradition of self-improvement, pledging to eat better, work harder, and be "more." Yet by February, those resolutions often crumble.

Is it lack of willpower or self-discipline, or are we aiming at the wrong target?

The truth is, resolutions fail not because we’re undisciplined, but because they’re often disconnected from what defines us: our highest values.

Imagine standing outside your life, looking at yourself with the kind of wisdom and compassion only a higher perspective can provide—whether that’s divine understanding or a deeply objective secular lens.

This is the Fifth Perceptual Position (FPP), the cornerstone of my M-W Paradigm Shift.

It’s not just about setting goals but aligning them with the essence of who you are.

Instead of asking, “What do I want to achieve this year?” ask, “What would the highest version of me see as my purpose?

What goals would fulfill my life’s most meaningful intent?”

?????? ?????????????????????? ?????????? ???????? ?????? ????????

Most resolutions are surface-level attempts to address deeper longings.

We aim for weight loss, career milestones, or financial goals because they seem like fixes for our dissatisfaction.

But without tying them to a greater purpose, they remain hollow, easily abandoned when challenges arise.

To break this pattern, you need to go beyond yourself, stepping into that higher perspective.

Through this lens, you see your life in the context of your values, your purpose, and your potential.

Here’s how to align your resolutions with what truly matters:

?????????? ?????? ?????????? ???????????????????? ????????????????

Visualize your life as if you’re observing it from above or through God’s eyes.

What does this elevated perspective reveal about what’s meaningful and worth pursuing?

???????????? ?????????????????????? ???? ???????? ???????? ????????????

Ask yourself: What do I stand for?

What brings me a sense of purpose? Craft goals that resonate with these truths rather than external pressures or societal trends.

When resolutions are rooted in your highest values, obstacles become part of your growth rather than reasons to quit.

They align with who you are becoming, not just what you want to achieve.

Growth is dynamic. Goals that evolve with

your values aren’t failures—they’re refinements of your purpose.

Flexibility ensures alignment remains intact.

When you approach resolutions with this paradigm, they stop being annual declarations of “fixing” yourself and become stepping stones toward the life you’re meant to live.

What would it feel like to set goals that inspire, energize, and fulfill you on the deepest level?

When seen from the Fifth Perceptual Position, resolutions aren’t just about doing—they’re about becoming.

Are you ready to shift your perspective and make this year the one where your goals finally align with your highest purpose?
