Increase Your Odds of Success

Are you making successful resolutions or do you crash and burn by February? (Artist: Unknown)

Do successful resolutions seem as far-fetched to you as Santa Claus or the Easter bunny? Year after year, people make their resolutions for the new year as the old one comes to a close. It’s a time-honored tradition, after all! For the vast majority (80–85%), their resolutions crash and burn by the end of January…perhaps mid-February at most.

But why?

Is it just a pointless exercise in futility?

(Artist: Unknown)

Symbolically the new year very clearly symbolizes new beginnings and turning over a new leaf. Some people don’t have to wait for the new year and make their goals all year long. Others stampede to the New Year’s resolution clifftop just like lemmings.

If the odds of failure are so high, what’s the point?

Is there anything that can be done to increase the odds of success?

1.Have a defined goal and a solid plan
