Motivational Monday!

Resolutions...???...

2019 is HERE!!!

2019 is HERE!!! Another 365 days for you to create the life you envision for yourself! What will you do with your 365 days? 

Resolutions... Do you make them? Do you stick to them?

Wise to Resolve and Patient to Perform ~ Homer

 Do you think they are silly? 

New Year's Resolutions work like this: You think of something you like doing and then you resolve to stop doing it ~ Charlie Brooker

To resolve or not to resolve, that is the question.

What does it mean to make a resolution? What are you telling yourself when you make resolutions? 

Resolution comes from the word Resolve. 

Resolve - The definition as defined by Google. 

     Verb - 

          1) Settle or find resolution to a problem, dispute or contentious matter

          2) Decide firmly on a course of action

     Noun - 

          1) Firm determination to do something.

If you make Resolutions, what did you resolve? Some common resolutions are:

1) Lose Weight     2) Get a different Job     3) Start to work out and get healthy

4) Eat "better"     5) Take a vacation     6) Work Harder

If you are one to make resolutions, do you stick with them? If so, for how long? Do you see your resolutions thru to completion or do you slowly forget about them? 

I think in terms of day's resolutions, not the year ~ Henry Moore

Henry Moore may be onto something. I think that when set a goal we need to break it down into little pieces and have daily goals. When we succeed at something it motivates us to keep going. If we can see/feel success daily, we would be more likely to reach our big goals. 

If you don't make 'resolutions', do you create a plan for the year? A plan for what you want to accomplish in the new year? A plan for what you want to do this year? To plan or not to plan, that is another question.

Whether you are a person who makes resolutions, a plan or just goes with the day to day, I think the following quote sums up what we should all practice in 2019!

Resolve never to quit, never to give up, no matter what the situation ~ Jack Nickolaus

Last year I talked quite a bit about having a plan. Seeing your plan through or modifying it if you found out that it wasn't going to work. I think planning your life is important. I think having a written plan is even more important. So, whether you want to call it a resolution or a plan, it doesn't matter. Just make a decision and then stick to it! Never Give Up!!! Keep your head down and work! Keep your eye on your goal! Keep your eye on your dream! Some days may be easy, some days may be hard~ But be consistent in your work and don't let the hard days slow you down or make you quit. There are easy days to come :) 

There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; There's just a scarcity of resolve to make it happen    ~Wayne Dyer

Make your 2019 all that you want it to be!!! 

Annnnd yes, I've been asked... "you're a Realtor, why are you writing a blog titled 'Motivational Monday'?" To answer the question... Over the years, I've run into many different people, all with very different personalities. I've found that people that have an optimistic and positive outlook on life are happier people. I want to do my part to empower others to be positive. I  want to do my part to empower others to believe in the power of affirmations. I want to do my part to help people believe in themselves again. I want to do my part to make the world a happier place... even if it's just for one person, I will have made a difference.  

Have a Blessed Week! Remember, Success is yours if you are willing to work for it!!!
