Radical Resolutionaries.

Perhaps our tendency to make resolutions we never intend to keep is more about how we view our inadequacies than about our inability to perform.

We aim small believing that we are unable to be amazing.

The answer isn’t to stop making attempts at greatness, it is to change how you view success.

Make radical resolutions.

  • Resolve to forgive.  Start with yourself.
  • Resolve to lose.  Start with your pride.
  • Resolve to stop.  Start with quitting.
  • Resolve to forget. Start with your limitations.
  • Resolve to love.  Start with those you dislike.
  • Resolve to quit.  Start with doubting yourself.
  • Resolve to give up.  Start with your fear.

Success starts with the goals you make for yourself.

If your goals are simply ordinary don’t expect to do what is extraordinary.

Success demands radical resolutionaries.

Ready to join the rebellion?

    So good Dan. Last year I resolved to lose 10 lbs and lost 25.  I didn’t realize what was possible.  Maybe another is to resolve to give up small dreams.

      Aim for big and you get big.  Aim for small and you’ll hit it every time…

      Way to go, BTW, on a healthier lifestyle.  It is amazing how much more effective you are when you feel better.

    I find the backlash against making new year’s resolutions silly. Just because you failed last year and the year before that and the year before that doesn’t mean you will fail this year. Life is about getting back up. If we quit on ourselves, what’s the point?

      Doug,

      I agree with you. Like anything in life it takes trial-and-error to get good at anything. I suspect “making resolutions” falls into that same category.

      By the way, it’s horribly logic to stop doing anything just because what you did do didn’t work. Sounds like “crybaby logic” to me. :-)

      Dan
