A Goal Without A Plan Is A Wish.

“A Goal Without A Plan Is A Wish.”

How harsh yet true this is. Most people don’t achieve their new year resolutions by the end of the year. In fact, most people forgot what their resolutions are less than halfway through the year.

Nevertheless, this doesn’t mean that we should stop make New Year Resolutions. In fact, we should be making resolutions everyday! If today is 12 Jan 2017, you should be making “12 Jan 2017 Resolutions” instead! Make some promises to yourself and get used to making the time and effort to fulfil that promise. Kick that Procrastination Addiction and learn to Take Ownership of your feelings, choices and actions, and of your own success!

And to help yourself achieve your goal/objectives/resolutions more easily, create a plan to achieve it. Don’t just say “I want to lose weight!”, feel motivated, do 5 sit-ups, a few jumping jacks, then end the day and expect “Instant Gratification”.

Oh my,”Instant Gratification” is such a.. how should I say.. “Vulgar” word to me. It shows so much of the ugly side of people; the greed, the laziness, the weakness and the stupidity and naiveness of people. Instant Gratification is what makes the casino business so bustling, and it is also what prevent the investment scams, weight loss gimmicks and disease curing miracles from extinction. Don’t blame the scammers, blame yourself!

The SECRET is to transform your words into deeds is by making your goals and objectives measurable, and then breakdown the process into actionable and a chievable steps. Plan out your tasks, as detailed as can be, and stick to it. Persistence,Persistence,Persistence! Persistence is what allowed Thomas Edison to become one of the greatest inventor and entrepreneur in history despite failing his experiments 10,000 times before inventing the light bulb; it is what saved Colonel Sanders from bankruptcy and depression and rocket-launched him into the path of success at the age of 60+ by creating the successful brand and franchise, KFC; it is also what made Jack Ma a multi-millionaire and founder of one of the fastest growing and most successful internet business in the world, Alibaba, despite facing rejections from Harvard University 10 times, facing rejection from 30 job applications and also from failing miserably his first internet venture.

Do not just have a New Year Resolution, have a “New Day Resolution” instead. Work out a plan and stick to it. Success is yours, it’s just a matter of the level of persistence you possess. Life is hard; it is not easy, and that is why we have a chance to be ahead of the rest of the world.

Cheers!
