March is the month of springtime and rejuvenation. It’s also the time when most people have forgotten about the resolutions and goals they set earlier in the year. Have you neglected or given up your goals? If you have, you are far from alone. Most people let their goals fall to the wayside at least by March, if not long before. It comes down to four simple reasons. WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO STAY ON TRACK AND PUSH FORWARD
LOVE NOT ONLY IN WORD, BUT ALSO IN DEED “Love thy neighbor as yourself.” – Matthew 22:39 No matter our spiritual affiliation, we should all be called to love not only in word, but also in deed or action. It is easy to say you care, but if you do not sacrifice or make any effort to make a difference, what do your words really mean? Nothing. United by Love is an organization of people who walk the walk and talk the talk. They are dedicated to helping people in medical-financial crisis by raising money to assist with uninsured medical expenses through community events. Many recipients have been fighting cancer, but this organization is open to all those in need, regardless of their illness. If you or someone you know needs help through a financial hardship due to a medical condition, feel free to contact them through their Facebook page www.facebook.com/ UNIDOSXAMORR. Please be advised that due to the large number of people in need and limited resources, United by Love has to be very selective of who they can help. Remember: They are all volunteers and, at this time, 100 percent of any money collected goes to the affected person(s).
1. They set goals that were out of reach or unrealistic.
2. They had zero accountability.
3. They set abstract goals.
4. They didn’t track progress.
Setting goals is the easy part. A lot of people say they want to lose weight, eat better, learn a new skill, or try a new hobby, but they don’t define their goals any further. Vague goals aren’t really goals at all. The best way to stay on track is to be as specific as possible. Understand what you need to do to accomplish your goals. Make sure you have access to the appropriate resources that will help you make progress. Resources come in all forms. Look to the people around you for accountability — your family, friends, neighbors, or colleagues. If you don’t want to involve anyone else, keep a notebook or diary to track progress. Or if you are learning a new skill, such as a foreign language for a trip next year, the resource you need may be an app on your phone. When you bring specific goals together with the necessary resources, achieving your dreams becomes more possible than ever before. You just have to take steps to avoid falling into the mistakes listed above. Set attainable concrete goals, track your progress, and check in with someone to keep you accountable. Since it’s been a few months, take a moment to review how far you’ve come since January. What do you need to do to make 2018 your best year yet?
