MASTERING THOSE RUGGED RESOLUTIONS - Arthur C Mokarow - January 1977

Arthur C Mokarow

"I'm going to stick to a rigid diet this year and keep slim." "This year no more credit purchases - I'm getting out of debt." Sound familiar? Millions of such resolutions are made every year, but precious few are ever realized. Here are the keys for mastering those rugged resolutions. The new year traditionally brings personal introspection and resolutions. People the world over think of what they want to accomplish during the next 12 months. Some people merely make wishes, but many make resolutions to regulate their daily living and thus, hopefully, increase their prospects for happiness. There's nothing wrong with goal setting, but disappointments and desperation mount when goals go unachieved. A person's failure to achieve usually isn't caused by a lack of ability, but rather it is caused by the lack of follow through and sustained determined effort. Let's say you are presently in debt $1,200. Your resolution is to eliminate all your debts in 1977. This is your goal. Where do you start? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
