The Second Book The 57th Chapter - Realize Your New Year Resolutions All Year

Sept 18/17

How many times have you made a new year's resolution with the start of a new year?  Once those are made how many of your resolutions are successful?  The ones that were not successful, what is the reason why?  What would your life be like if all of your new year's resolutions became successful and placed into your daily reality?

I would like to share of how you can integrate your new year's resolutions all year long and be successful with them.  First I want you to think about what is success and how that relates to you.  When I first started writing my two goals were accomplished by setting my bar of success at a realistic level.  That was for me to heal and grown and to help at least one person. 

When your starting your goal, keep the bar of success high but not to the point where it drives your failure.  My thoughts turned to my son and when he first started to ride his peddle bike without the aid of training wheels.    He practiced all summer with his training wheels on when finally the time came he wanted to ride without the aid of these wheels.  He told himself, once the training wheels were off he would ride successfully with his first try.  So he set his bar incredibility high and it was an all or nothing type of success measurement that he had set for himself.  He told himself he would quit trying with the failure of just once and ask to have his training wheels reinstalled.

So the time came for his first ride without the aid of the wheels and he was not successful to complete his first try under his control.  When that happened his own psychological contract came to play and he quit mentally.  At the time I provided him support and encouragement he needed but more importantly I was able to ask him questions of what went wrong.  By the use of these questions he recognized his internal bar for his success was set to high.  Then magic happened, he changed his measurement point of success to one of to try vs. be able to win and complete a peddle bike race.  As he tried his second time he successfully rode his bike for his first time under his own control.  He was able to create his greatest wish repeatedly and with each revolution of his peddle, he was able to improve his skill.

Whatever your resolutions are at new years, ask yourself what is your bar of success set at?  Then with this concept start to integrate your life's improvements all year round and do not wait for a special day for the starting of your goals.  By waiting to start your important goals is time spent wasted in the pattern of practicing to rotate your peddles.  Also with carefully identifying your bar of success you will be able to complete your stretch goals you have set for yourself.

Then the magic will start to happen as almost without effort and  without fulling realizing it at the moment, you will start to accomplish your goals.  The overall impact will be the shifting of your mental mind set from I can do it vs. I have failed again.  This is a mindset that will enable you to find and to also leverage your greatness.
