Why does it take so much effort to do the right thing? It always seems like when you set your mind to accomplish something that is when you find yourself faced with so many temptations. Waking up every day and taking the necessary steps towards whatever you want to achieve is a full time job. With the new year approaching many of us are setting goals or making plans for what we will strive to achieve after the clock turns 12. But how long do we stick with those plans, how long can you withstand the temptations of life? Say you want to lose weight, how long is it before you revert back to those old eating habits that got you to where you are now? How long before that internal debate swings the way of late night fast food lol?
Is the key to reaching your goals setting "realistic" limits for yourself? (I hate that word) Or should you dive in head first and commit all that you are to achieving whatever you have set out to do? I can’t say I have the answer to this question, not at all. I have gone back on what I said I was going to do so many times that now I try not to even talk about my plans with anyone. I remember one time the boys and I were going to try a master cleanse for a week lol, we went to the health food store and spent about $50 a piece on all the supplies. The next day we started our journey to cleanse ourselves of all the impurities that our terrible eating habits had placed in our bodies... by 10:00pm that same evening we were at Kelly's Tavern ordering up half of the menu lol.
Though I have failed in completing some of my goals I don’t allow that curb my enthusiasm for trying. If it is something I want, I’m going to do what I can to get it and if I fail I have no problem with getting up and trying again. So I guess persistence is the key to achieving what we set out to do, making sure at every moment you have your goal in mind and then never quitting in the pursuit of it.
