Susan stood on the scale the other day. She had gained two pounds.
Fred muttered to himself, “damn smokes cost a ton and are
killing me”, as he passed another five dollar bill across
the counter.
Mark promised his wife that this would be the year that they
took a vacation, the same promise that he’s made every year
since they were married...
Do any of these scenarios sound familiar? Go to a mirror and
take a good look at yourself. What you have done differently in
these last two months? The New Year began, January and February
are history, and what is different in your life? Did you follow
through on any of your resolutions? Did you even bother to make
any?
I hear people consistently talk about the things they want to
accomplish in their lives. We all want to lose weight, get in
shape, make and save more money, get ahead, quit smoking and more….or
do we?
Here is the dirty little secret about these broken promises:
we don’t really want to keep them. The real reason we don’t
accomplish our goals is because we don’t do the work. We
want things to simply “happen” for us. Except that
life doesn’t work that way. There are no magic solutions.
However, I have great news for you. If you decide to make positive
changes in your life, you can! There are two things you need to
do, two actions you must take, and you can accomplish anything!
