I joined the top literacy fellowship in the begining of the year. And what did I get? Resolution all of participant fellowship for 2020. There is nothing wrong with that. Because I’m sure everyone is the same way. Make resolutions every year. Over and over again.
In my opinion, resolutions are not much more than wishes. Elusive goals that make with the best of intentions, but rarely keep.
Sure I want to write a list of all the things I’m going to do differently this year and how I’m going to become a ‘new’ person. But I know better than that. In a month I will have forgotten. In 6 months I’ll be disappointed about how little I’ve achieved, never-mind that my life circumstances and priorities will have changed by then, and I won’t get anywhere.
Resolutions tell you where you want to be but not how to get there. Instead of resolutions set goals. Small goals and often.
They don’t have to be huge life changing things. Maybe it’s that you want to catch up with a friend this week or clean out your wardrobe. Whatever it is that you fell you need.
