MONDAY MOTIVATIONAL MOMENT_GET YOUR RESOLVE ON!

If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us. - Jim Rohn

It's a brand new year, with brand new plans, hopes and determination. We start the year off making resolutions to ourselves and others, yet we find that once the year starts we lose track of those resolutions. This is often a result of becoming engaged in our busy lives.

You don't have to lose your resolve; whether your goals include living a healthier life, becoming fiscally responsible, or pursuing your dreams, you can attain your goals.

Attaining those goals come first with determining what they are and then writing them down. When you determine your goals you need to clearly think about what makes them attainable and what resources must be employed to reach them. If they are too lofty you may need to scale back a bit, or if they are too easy they may need further adjustment to help you grow.

Write your goals on paper to make it clear. Visualizing your goals make it is easier to understand them and ascertain what you must do to accomplish those goals. This also enables you to feel that you are one step closer towards reaching them, because you can see them now.

Speak them out loud, whether to yourself or others. When you have said them in the air, know that you are speaking things into existence as though they were. Saying your goals out loud to others and yourself makes you accountable. Having an accountability partner causes you to become responsible for fulfilling the goals you have set.

Look at the work towards your goal as an investment in yourself. Investing in yourself is priceless, the return invaluable, and therefore, well worth any time or work you must put in.

This year whenever you find yourself losing track of your goals just remember it's an investment. You wouldn't put invest money in a bank and just leave it never to collect on it would you? It's the same way with the work you're putting into your resolution. Invest...invest...invest, so that you can collect later on and build on you.
