Room For One More Resolution?
If you're one of the millions of Americans that just launch into the new year with a brand new to-do list or resolution, you've no doubt already given quite some thought to the tasks at hand. There is a good chance that you've likely set the same goals before.
First, let me remind you of the top five resolutions people make, and then I'd like to put a little twist on it for you… just a little Shelly wisdom that could make 2010 the most fulfilling year that you've had in a very long time.
See if any of these made your list this past December:
Lose Weight
Stop Smoking
Quit Drinking
Get Out Of Debt
Fix Broken Relationships
So, what are the common denominators that jump off the page at you?
They can all be tied to addiction, and they tend to simply repeat over and over and over again.
But here's the twist.
The fact that these are the top five resolutions year after year, tells us that one or more of them is on just about everyone's list… same as twelve months ago. Which means there are plenty of people to help.
So let me make a suggestion.
This year, why not focus on helping just one person check an item off their list? Yes, identify one person in your family… at your work… in your church or synagogue or neighborhood… that has a similar resolution as you, and then team up to help make it a reality.
Yes, team up… as in, we're in the same boat… we're headed to the same place… and it's not a place either of us wish to be. Let's finally admit the reason we're here again, and then let's resolve to handle it together. Counseling… Clubs...Twelve Step Sponsorship....Whatever it takes. Make 2010 your healthiest year ever!
