Subject: Resolutions

Hello everyone

April is already here. WOW!! It may seem a bit late to address resolutions since most people associate them with the new year, meanwhile a resolution can be made at any time of the year, and for many different reasons. However, why is it that often the resolutions we make, end up fizzling out before we have accomplished what it is we have set out to do? Perhaps it is because our focus is on achieving immediate results for something that undoubtedly takes time to change, improve, or overcome. When we focus on the outcome, we can become frustrated with the length of time it seems to take to achieve that goal. A couple of definitions for the word resolution are:

a formal expression of opinion or intention

and

the act of resolving or determining upon an action or course of action, method, procedure, etc.

Resolutions can seem daunting when viewed as an intention or course of action that lies somewhere �out there� in our future. Now if your intention or course of action is to get up and turn off a light, your result can be pretty much immediate. But what if your resolution is weight loss, saving money, or being better organized, improving grades or working out, volunteering or learning a language. All of these tasks surely seem daunting, not only because of the time frame needed to achieve them, but also because of what we may have to give up to achieve the desired results. And because we often don�t see results immediately, we tend to give up or find excuses as to why it will never work. However, if we use a different form of the word resolution, and choose to be resolute in our actions, it makes what we are doing much more immediate, which in turn offers a more immediate sense of accomplishment.

Resolute is defined:

firmly resolved or determined; set in purpose or opinion.

and

characterized by firmness and determination, as the temper, spirit,
actions, etc.

So, whether it is counting calories, refraining from unnecessary luxuries, putting our lives in order, committing to more study time, working out, volunteering, or learning a new language, if we determine what is needed day to day, and are resolute and work though those actions on a daily basis, you will be well on your way to accomplishing anything you set out to do. It is truly amazing that these small changes in our focus can make such a big difference in achieving all that we want to achieve.

Wishing you success reaching your goals every day of your life. If I can be of any help getting you there, it is my pleasure.
