Why new years resolutions fail...

New years resolutions made...

Ambitious goals, hopes & dreams

But most won't make it

They'll slip in a month or two

But why?

In my mind, it boils down to one thing, upon which everything else is built -

Your 'WHY'

The reason you do what you do

The driving force behind your behaviour

- Habits need to be formed to develop consistency

- Goals should be formed to give direction

But if there's no solid foundation or reason for getting out of bed in the morning...it's a house built on sand.

Goals are set because of what we derive from achieving them.

How they make us feel

What they stir up inside of us

So a strong purpose is everything

And the biggest barriers to getting there?

- Apathy

- Settling for less

- Being OK with average

- Self doubt

- Lack of belief

- Bad habits

- Pessimism

- Conditioning

So how do you push through and become one of the few who actually start fulfilling their potential?

Spend as long as you need to form a well defined WHY

Don't just know it intellectually

But feel it emotionally

Right in the pit of your stomach

Meditate on it...to the point you give yourself goosebumps

Run 5 kilometers with your favourite music blaring and feel that fire light up every part of your being

Move like you've already achieved it

Shout it out if you have to

Become the person you visualise as you walk down the street

Hold your head high, smile and move with excitement & purpose

Your body won't know the difference

Have fun with it and increase the intensity to the point you send a shiver down your spine

This is how you develop a strong WHY.

And all the other things - consistency, persistence, follow-through, action, drive and energy - will follow to help you fulfil your potential...built on top of that raging fire in your belly🔥

So don't waste another day

From Michaelangelo & Mozart to Maradona & Messi... anyone who ever achieved anything of significance all said the same thing.

They channelled a power bigger than themselves.

They discovered their WHY
