Resolutions are not just made at New Year’s.
They are also made at the beginning of summer. That magical time of year when a woman realizes she cannot wear a two piece bathing suit. It’s been her aim for the last fifteen years to lose an incredible amount of weight and wow everyone with her awesome new look.
At the first signs of spring, gym membership increases, weight loss programs sell a lot of chalky tasting food, and people make their final resolution…again.I am not being cruel! I have been one of these people! And not only about losing weight, but a lot of other things as well. My excuses are endless: I’ve been busy, sick, tired, unmotivated. These are legitimate excuses at times, but every time? I have abandoned so many plans, left so many to-do lists undone.
I’ve committed criminal negligence against my dreams.
My negligence puts me in a vulnerable position. When I watch someone else who’s working hard to accomplish their goals I get mad, defensive even. This person might be a family member or close friend, so then I feel guilty over my jealous anger. Where I used to extend grace and mercy, now I can only find fault. Can anyone else relate? I am not sharing this information for the fun of it. To judge others by their actions and ourselves by our intentions is pure lunacy.
This battle, action versus intention, has destroyed many relationships because the standards are so unfair.
Don’t abandon your dreams and become a cynic of those who refuse to quit. Own up to your failures. Expose your weaknesses. Learn how to endure. This is the key to leaving the mountain of broken resolutions behind in order to live a life of resolve.
What steps are you taking to live a life of resolve?

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% certain. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks
Actually, it’s not hard to start a blog. My blog was free! Go to wordpress.com and they walk you through the set up. Michael Hyatt at michaelhyatt.com also has a free screen cast of how to set up a self-hosted WordPress blog. I believe it costs about $3.95 a month. Whichever method you prefer, the setup is easy. Let me know if this helps! I’ll be glad to answer anymore questions you may have.
Greetings from Los angeles! I’m bored to death at work so I decided to browse your website on my iphone during lunch break. I love the knowledge you provide here and can’t
wait to take a look when I get home. I’m surprised at how quick your blog loaded on my cell phone .. I’m not
even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, amazing site!
Today, I went to the beachfront with my children.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter
and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell
to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this
is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
Hi it’s me, I am also visiting this website daily, this web site is actually good and the people are in fact sharing fastidious thoughts.
