THE MECHANICS BEHIND YOUR NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

A New Year Resolution should be a creamy wish list but not a laundry list.   You can alternatively call them the crucial goals  of your life to work on daily basis.  In order to keep the vigour consistently on daily basis, you have to make objective analysis of implementation process and steps  to be taken  to tide over the difficulties  you encounter.

 You would feel reverberated with the energy once you clearly imagine the fulfilment of your  goals and the attendant  prosperity both material and spiritual that would be dawned into your life.  

When it comes to mechanics of decision, you must turn the pages of Napoleon Hill's much-acclaimed work "Think and Grow Rich'.  The cover flap of the book mentions that 'This book could be worth a million dollars to you'.  

 In this unparalleled book, Hill elaborately mentions 30 major causes of failure.  Point 13 mentions 'Lack of well-defined power of decision'.  He says that men who succeed reach decisions promptly and change them, if at all, very slowly.   Men who fail, reach decisions, if at all, very slowly, and change them frequently, and quickly. Majority of folks make New Year Resolutions very casually every year without bothering on the implementation part.  They are the  bundles of failures.

Hill terms indecision and procrastination as twin brothers where one is found, the other will also be  found with it.  So  write carefully your New Year Resolutions with a vow to work  on daily basis.  It should be binding on your persona  rather dry words written on a piece of paper.  Better late but with a  time-bound action plan to execute the New Year Resolutions ! 

NEW YEAR GOALS

The other day when I browsed the morning headlines in the newspaper, one piece of news caught my eye.    It suggested some mobile app to accomplish New Year Resolutions. I laughed myself the way technology is suggested to strengthen the inner resolve.

We are already having superior technology inside each of us which converts the 'bread into blood'. What we need is only to have full heart to achieve our goals.

I don't think you need a mobile app to achieve your goals, What I suggest is, invest some bucks in small whiteboard and hang it into your study/ living room and write your goals there with a deadline. See the board as frequently as possible during the day which would strengthen your resolve and auto-suggest your mind to work towards the goals.

I think this whiteboard is the most workable formula. Don't clutter that board with lengthy resolutions. Write each goal/resolution in two or three words with a timeline. Don't write more than 5 Resolutions. Why 'Five', because you have five fingers so that you can instantly remember them when you are out of board's sight. Seeing the white board daily would train your mind in accepting them for accomplishment.

Split each goal/resolution into workable actions with clear deadlines and when you achieve even a small part of that goal, announce to the world or your near and dear ones about your achievement so that their words of appreciation ignite you further in achieving your leftover goals.

Further, you take a snapshot of your goals written on the whiteboard with your mobile phone and review it frequently even during 'on-the-go.

Some months back, I opened a notebook called "Black Book' in which I elaborately wrote what are my strengths and weaknesses and what are my goals to be achieved. The following is a rundown of my Goals:

1) Physical Fitness Goals - Healthy life

2) Intellectual Goals - Utilize all my Inner Resources/ talents the Creator has endowed me

3) Children Career Goals - Make them worthy of society

4) Financial Goals - Wealth at a comfortable level

5) Relationship/ Family /Welfare Goals - Good Samaritan

Under each primary goal, there are sub-goals which must be diligently written in a notebook meant for your goals and you need to give ‘timeline’ for each sub-goal. Some action under all five categories need to be taken on daily basis and it should be reviewed daily/weekly/fortnightly.
