The odds of hitting your target go up dramatically when you aim at it. ~ Mal Pancoast
I love and hate this time of year! Everywhere we turn it seems that everyone has a New Years Resolution they hope to achieve this year. What's yours? Is it to lose weight? Get organized? Travel somewhere? Run a marathon or half-marathon? Whatever it is, I am certain that you truly hope to achieve that resolution. So, when do you start? Today...great! What is your plan to achieve your resolution? This is where we all run into problems. We have all these great idea's about what we want to change or do and no sound plan to actually achieve any of them.
A resolution by definition is a fact. It is a formal expression of opinion or intention. It's a resolve or determination to do something. I am going to do this!
A goal is also by definition a fact. It is the result or achievement toward which effort is directed. Aim. End. A goal is something you strive for, you achieve or accomplish something. You see the end result and you take the steps to get there.
So is what you have a resolution or a goal. I guess it would be a resolution if you have no formal plan and no end in sight. It would be a goal if you know and see the result you want AND most importantly; how your going to get there.
By developing sound goals and a plan to achieve those goals you are on the path to success. Develop your goal(s), aim at the target, and then go do it! The time for talk needs to end and achieving results needs to start!
Happy Running!
