I was the biggest New Year Planner. Always planning to eat better, work harder, exercise more. For some reason, I never fall through. The truth is that you don’t need New Year, a new month and not even a new week to make a decision and work towards it from day one.
How many times have you made your New Year’s resolution, pumped up at the beginning of January but as you were approaching another month, those big dreams and goals seem to disappear? Why so many people but their biggest hopes for the next year when they can start and thrive right away?
Since most of the world put so much importance on the New Year’s resolutions it isn’t funny; I have for you 3 reasons why you should forget about those plans for a next year and start hustling now.
1. Time is the only limit
Your potential, resources or possibilities have no limits. The only limit we all have is time and once wasted, we can never take it back. Why would you throw away the entire December when you can already start taking action and move forward? Procrastination killed many dreams because people were always waiting for the right time, right person or opportunity. There is never “right” time, person, etc. The time is now, and that is the only thing you need to remember.
2. You will get overwhelmed
How do you think your mind is going to react when you let it totally rest for some time and then you put enormous pressure on it with every little thing you want to change or improve? More than likely, you will get totally overwhelmed, frustrated and quit before you even started since the number of tasks to handle will seem impossible.
3. If you are waiting too long, you may miss your chance
I am not trying to scare you or destroy your hopes, but sometimes, if we wait too long, we’ll wait forever. Chances are all around you; they aren’t some special events which show up when the midnight hit 2017 and ball of "good luck" dropped at your doorstep.
Instead of focusing on the awesome year 2017 we all believe is going to better than this one, start planning and taking simple steps now. Enter the New Year with motivation, already in progress and a clear vision of how this year going to unfold for you.
Conclusion
The reality about New Year resolutions is that people don’t want to change and that’s why they tied their goals to some future event. Before you hate me for what I just said because you already have a full list of your New Year’s resolutions since January 2016, let’s think about it. If you want to make a decision and change your life, you just do it. It is simple. You don’t need to wait for some special occasion because you are confident about yourself and what you want. This state of mind will only excite you, and you start acting right away. If you are unconsciously refusing to change, there are one and million reasons to procrastinate and the New Year seems for many people as a great opportunity.
I am not here to judge you since I have made this mistake a thousand times. I am here to tell you that New Year’s resolutions suck and why you should quit with making any. Time is priceless, stop wasting it and start hustle. There is too much of a value and potential within you to wait around for some New Year to give yourself permission to act. Do it now!
