Are You a Resolution Hype-Type, or a Goal Setter-Type?

New year, new resolutions… and by May, most of them are forgottenMaybe the problem isn’t the excitement. Maybe it’s the approach.

Instead of making resolutions, try setting GOALS. 🎯 Resolutions are often emotional and seasonal. Goals require intention, planning, discipline, and a clear mind. When you set goals, you’re telling yourself: ✔️ “I’m committed to growth.” ✔️ “I’m willing to work step by step.” ✔️ “I’m building something meaningful.” Real goals come with preparation: 1️⃣ You consult people who understand the area you want to grow in. 2️⃣ You pray, seek spiritual guidance, and ask for strength to stay consistent. 3️⃣ You review your budget and realistically plan how to achieve it. Goals train your mind to execute, whether short-term or long-term. So the question is…are you a resolution hype-type, or a goal setter-type? 👀✨ 🎙️ Watch the full episode on Girls in Bongo Podcast.

Why do we make resolutions anyway?

If anything, 2018 taught me NOT to rely on my own understanding in any area of my life. I ended 2018 with a reality check, nothing that happened in 2018 was on my to-do list. So why make resolutions when life happens when I am busy making plans? Don't get me wrong, I don't  plan on living my life aimlessly or not have goals at all. And it does not mean I should not do my best with what I have. I just want to be in a place where I can be okay with the curve balls that life throws my way, without  losing my mind in the process. You just never know which life situation will bring down your spirit and this is what I need to learn to overcome. When your spirit is down, you could be surrounded by a gold mine, and yet not see the glitter or enjoy the wealth. I never want to be in that place ever again.

Happy New Year!!

Doing 2019 God's way!
