New Years Resolution Quotes To Help Achieve Goals

By Lola Dohrman


Many individuals write out long lists of what they expect to achieve during the upcoming year. Only about five percent of all who make resolutions actually achieve their goals. There are varied reasons for this and knowing what they are will greatly enhance your ability to achieve your own goals. Utilize New Years resolution quotes to assist you on your journey.

Make up your mind what it is you want to do during the next year. Don't make your aspirations so high that you will become frustrated and abandon them but don't aim so low that they won't stretch and challenge you. Choose goals that will make your year - and your life - much better than the year before.

Don't say that "you will", "you might" or "you are going to". Say you are. For example, don't say "I am going to try to lose 50 pounds". Revise it and say "I will lose 50 pounds" or even better, speak as if it has already occurred and state "I have lost 50 pounds".

Be very specific in your wording. Don't just say "I want a new car". State "I have a new Ford Mustang convertible". The stronger the wording, the more likely you will be to achieve your goals.

Writing out your goals is the most important part of making resolutions. It will make it far more possible for you to reach your goals. If you fail to write out exactly what you want, you will probably not receive your dreams for the year so take the time and make the effort to put everything in writing.

After you write them out, be sure to refer to them often. Some will use the Fourth of July as a midpoint to review and possibly even re-write your aspirations. If your birthday is mid-year, this is also a good review point. Designate specific times to read them so they stay fresh in your mind.

Some prefer the use of pictures as goals. For example, if one of your main drives is to buy a new car or home during the course of the year, you can cut out a picture of your dream vehicle or house and post it where you can see it every day. This will provide motivation to work hard at achieving these goals.

Use New Years resolution quotes to help you stay on course. They will keep you mindful of all that you wish to accomplish during the coming year. You will be amazed at what you can do when you keep yourself on the right track.
