Another New Year!

So What Is New

I am one of those people who like to make a New Years Resolution. Even if my resolution does'nt come true, heck I gave it a shot. Like many people New Years Eve, I got caught up at the moment, didn't really plan my resolution. Resolution has many meanings as stated at Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution

Simply a New Year Resolution is stating a goal. Having goals is one of the best ways to get yourself on track for something. The mistake most people make is not setting their New Year Resolution up for success. If your resolution is not a well-thought-out goal with a huge reward that drives you to complete it than you will join the 92% that fail before the first six months.

With a quick google search I discovered that only about 40% of Americans actually declare a New Years Resolution. For those that do actually set a new goal for the year only 46% actually stick to it for the next six months.

I watched a short video by Tony Robins a few weeks ago and it really hit home. If your goal is a true desire that burns inside you every day, one that really brings out your passion it will be almost impossible not to succeed. Goals should inspiring you to reach outside your comfort zone every day, on your mind when you close your eyes at night and the first thing you think of at breakfast.

Mr Robins is a master at inspiring people to become all that they can be. He suggests you should set a huge goal but then break it into bite size steps.

This year my New Year Resolution will be different for me. I am completely behind the Wealthy Affiliate experience, the journey to freedom. WA posts have inspired me to take risks, to put it out there so to speak! It is time to set that risky goal. The goal to get healthy will improve my Wealthy Affiliate experience.

The Resolution

Being a trucker for 35 years has slowly added extra weight around the middle, about 50lbs

worth.

I have a goal to lose 60 lbs by the end of 2019. I'm not going to talk about my wife here, that could be suicide. Good health at this time of my life is so important. We are eating healthier than ever and are working towards a life change.

My wife and I have started a diet and exercise program. Following Tony Robins example I would need to lose 5 lbs a month to make my goal. That puts a new perspective on the goal doesn't it. It really seems doable now. It is easier to imagine than 60 lbs.

We purchased bicycles and ride every day. The first day was a killer, I made it around the RV Park (1.2 km) just one time, wow, that was tough. But we have stayed with it and now just 13 days into the New Year I am cycling five kilometers and have lost 8 lbs. That's a good resolution start.

I will take the time to read every members post that I come across. Reading members posts will inspire you to work even harder at getting your website finished. Actually I don't think we every really finish them, that would be to let it grow stale and there by diminish its effectiveness. I am amazed at the quality of writing in this forum.

Reading how members are progressing with their training reflects in their posts. Each and every one here is doing better with every post. It is truly a blessing to belong to this opportunity. We are after all on a journey to better our lives. Whatever your reason for being here I would encourage you to stretch yourself with personal goals larger than you.

We are in the right place at the right time with a company that after 13 years still has foundational owners that really care and work with you almost every day. It shows up every week in live training, their dedication to our success is profound!

With that said, I want to thank Kyle & Carson for their vision and the tenacity to follow through and give us there professional knowledge with online education and opportunity!

Happy New Year to all!
