Benjamin Franklin’s Success Ingredients: Resolution
Every year on New Year’s Eve or on the next day, millions of people make a “resolution” that they break before the end of the month.
Maybe it’s best not to make one until another day of the year, and preferably not during the first two weeks in January. For some reason these New Year’s resolutions always seem doomed.
To make a resolution to do this or that, is an admirable thing, and we should all do it more often. Make a plan, and then follow your plan, is a good idea, and don’t forget that some people didn’t plan to fail, they failed to plan. To make a plan, or a goal, and stick with it, is a noble endeavor.
Why not take Dr. Franklin’s advice and make some resolutions right now, no matter what day or month of the year it is? It’s always nice to have a reason to get up in the morning, and to have something to look forward to and work towards. Whether your goal is a business of your own, your dream home, a fabulous vacation, or a certain amount of savings, or any other purchase, you have to make the resolution to do it, and then do it!
