Rest In Peace!

Posted January 28, 2015

hopes and dreams RIP

2015 is only a few weeks old and sadly, I need to deliver some bad news to you today.

I’ve never been good at delivering bad news so forgive me if I don’t deliver it with the sensitivity it deserves.

Today, we are mourning the loss (for many of you) of the goals and dreams you set for 2015!

According to the University of Scranton. Journal of Clinical Psychology . . .

36% of the New Year’s Resolutions that are set won’t make it past the end of January!

Isn’t it crazy how you began the year with hope and BELIEF that this year would be different?

Then, somehow, little by little, you went back to your same old habits!

Worse yet, many of you went back to subscribing to the same bullsh*t excuses you’ve been telling yourself.

Actually, it still gets worse from there when you repeat the same stupid ritual on New Year’s Eve later this year!

At some point you need to get serious.

At some point you need to become dedicated.

At some point you need to stop with the excuses and . . .

Get after the dreams you need to be chasing.

Perhaps a first step would be in acknowledging that I’m not talking about someone else today;

I’m talking about YOU!

Today you are cordially invited to get back after your goals with a complete and thorough understanding that;

YOU deserve the results you’re after

YOU’RE worthy of the results you’re after and . . .

You WILL muster the courage to carry yourself in a matter that says . . .

“Screw you world. I will no longer be denied!”

You Don’t Have Permission To Quit!

It’s way too early and . . .

You have way too much potential!

  1. Uncle Paulie:

    Rock On! This happens to waaaaaay too many people. It’s kind of like Michael Gerber says, who wrote the e-myth: most small business owners suffer from an entrepreneurial seizure, as opposed to making realistic goals that are continually met and raised.

    C’mon all you people out there, make tons of small goals and continue to meet them. Your progress can then be measured (and celebrated). Big, lofty goals? Fugggeddabouddit!

    Remember: yard by yard, it’s just too hard. But inch by inch, it’s a cinch!
