A New Year.. A New Goal

A fresh start. A new year. This is the prime time for "new year's resolutions" where people make goals for themselves to accomplish in the upcoming year. They create new standards and get rid of old habits. Well that's the intention at least. Make as many resolutions you can think of, wonderful, but the biggest goal... is to stay true to your resolutions. If you say "I will be a better person" then you should be prepared and open for every opportunity thrown at you. Gandhi said, "A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history." and Nike sporting brands' trademark is  " Just do it." Are you getting the picture yet? Determination leads to success! Perseverance in trying to reach your goals! Even Albert Einstein said that "If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things." Goals shape us into better people (if we work towards being those better people). The goals that we create are inspiration for others as well! A very successful person said, "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." Coming from C.S.Lewis who was able to create an entirely new fictional land for the world to enjoy just by putting the thoughts of his imagination on paper, I would listen to such sound advice.  Leonardo da Vinci said  "You can have no dominion greater or less than that over yourself." In simple words, you are your goal, your starting point, your success, and your end. Success wont come to you... you have to put an effort into it. Winston Churchill had the goal to create a "city upon a hill" - a city of example made up of people like him. Wow what a goal! An immortal goal for the history books! Don't give up. Never give up never surrender to laziness. Its so much easier to just sit and let your goals slip out from your reach. Never stop trying to reach your goals!   He said “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”  Follow through with your resolutions and this year (and from then on).. you can make anything happen.
