I would guess that the majority of us makes a New Year’s Resolution. I would also guess that it starts out strong and maybe by the third week it begins to fade and by the second or third month we have forgotten about it completely or at the very least we struggle to keep it going. Sometimes feeling like a failure, and sometimes we brush our struggles off as “I have no will-power”. The thing is, none of us have will-power, we learn it and use it – much like discipline.

Who says you can’t start over every day? Who says you can’t change or tweak your resolution? When you’re walking along a path and you realize that you won’t end up on the other side of the beach, woods, lake or hill, you usually try another path; so why not do the same thing with your goals?

If what you want to achieve isn’t getting closer the way you’re currently trying to reach it, change your path, change your thinking and how you view yourself regarding your struggles. There is no set-in-stone rule to reaching your destination. Just because a certain diet, a certain routine or food works great for someone else doesn’t mean it’s right for you. Like buying clothing, you try it on to see if it’s the right fit for you, if it is you keep it, if not, you try out others. Try out different paths toward your goal. Ask for guidance when you need it. Learn how you’re unique and the many ways you can reach your destination.

Reinvent your goals, renew your plans, re-create yourself and do it often!
