Another year is approaching, and with it, we set new resolutions. Have you ever asked yourself why you have yet to reach your New Year’s goals?

We believe that when the year begins, everything we envision for the future will happen by magic, or only because we wished for it while eating 12 grapes on New Year’s Eve, or because we ran around the block with a suitcase. These traditions we follow are just pure superstitions.

We’ve heard the phrase: “If you wish for something with all your heart, the universe conspires to make it yours.” Well, that is not entirely true. We have to take action on that wish. We accomplish our dreams with discipline, perseverance, and hard work.

How do we meet our goals? First, we must set realistic goals. And then, we must have a plan, set clear objectives, get organized, be disciplined, and be confident that we can achieve those goals.
One of the reasons we can’t keep our New Year’s resolutions is the fact that we began with unrealistic goals that weren’t specific. We did not think of a plan to achieve them; we needed better direction and may have set too many goals simultaneously.

To achieve our goals, we must set a day for planning. Find a place where you can be without interruptions and where you can get inspired.​Write down your goals. Create a vision board of your dreams with images from a magazine or photographs. Hang it in a visible place, and set a date for achieving each goal. Having well-defined objectives is essential as this helps us drive where we want to go.
¡Get started today! Be consistent. Discipline and perseverance will always win over talent.
