The real reason we all look forward to a new year.
G.K. Chesterton could serve as a source of inspiration for all of us as we set and pursue New Year’s Goals and Resolutions.
”Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories—first carefully turning them inside out.” – Time Magazine Book Reviews
Success in reaching our goals often requires that we “turn them inside out” and seek to find new solutions. Most of us have selected goals that are recycled, we have tried them before and somehow failed to reach them. Make this year different. Take those goals and “unpack” them. Look at your larger goal and find the small changes that can help you reach them. Look for the small steps that you will need to take along the way and write them down. Then as you successfully take each of these smaller steps, and you will be successful, simply check them off of the list. Each of these smaller victories will spur new growth and new success. You will reach your bigger goal without even realizing you have arrived!
We are in this together. While most of us have set goals that probably relate to a better year financially or physically, what we are really seeking is deeper happiness. Set your goals based on what you know will refresh your soul and make you happy in a lasting way.
