If you want to prepare for setting new years' goals that will actually stick this year, creating a personal mission statement is a great place to start. You will be less random, and more focused on the goals you choose to create. It is also far easier to keep the goals because they will be advancing yourself towards who you want to be based on your mission statement.

And by consistently doing those things you will re-wire your thoughts, and your instinctive actions to become that new person.Become a PatronOnePercentImproved.comSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/josephwmiller)

Sometimes we look out and see all the things we need to do and it scares us. It seems all too big, or too much. My daughters do this sometimes. They say they can’t do their chore because there is too much. So they flop on the ground and don’t even want to do it. They would rather find some distraction and not have to do the chore. This can happen to us adults just as easily. We may not pout on the floor, but we vertically can find some distraction to keep from doing what seems like a monumental task. To each of us, I will say the same thing I say to them.
