It is that time of the year again, when you suddenly realize how horrible your life is, how fat you are, and how you have not been able to achieve any goal you set out for yourself to achieve in life.

Then, you swear that things must change this time.
In the spirit of the new year, with the energy that comes with it, you start to dream big again. You will make new year promises and resolutions.

You will register with a gym, or if you can’t afford it, you will start running up and down your street every morning.
You will set new goals for yourself and with the fire still burning in you, you will begin a mad pursuit of the goals.
You will even promise yourself that by year end, you will become a millionaire.

Then by April you have lost steam (that is if it is going to get that far), the fire is gone.
You will resign yourself to anything.

By the beginning of another new year, you are once again pumped up.
The mad pursuit of everything starts all over again.
The cycle keeps repeating itself.

How do you keep yourself to keep working at the goals you set for yourself till year end?

1. Reflect on the past year
The first thing to do to set yourself up for a great year is to reflect on the past one.
This will help you to see positives – what you have done right and build on it. It will also help you to see negatives – the activities, that do not add value to you and try your best to reduce them or cut them off entirely.

To be able to effect changes, you will have to first find out how things are going in your life.
And reflecting on the past year is a good way to find out.

Don’t rush into the new year to change the world without thinking about how the past one have been.
Know where you are coming from and build on the positives.

2. Set compelling goals

You know that kind of goals that are so big and ambitious that you are scared to even tell your friends about it less they will laugh at you.

The truth is that there is nothing normal about highly successful people. They set crazy goals, they do crazy things. They set out to achieve what have never been done before.
Then, they go to work at it. They work with so much energy that you will think that they have another source of energy, maybe an engine inside them.

All the while they are being propelled by the kind of goals they set for themselves.
And that you should do too.
Set for yourself the kind of goal that is so compelling that it wakes you up in the morning. The kind of goal that reminds you to stop wasting time when you are engaging in activities that do not add value to your life.
