For years I
made a conscious effort to workout at a local gym wherever I lived. I felt that
taking care of one’s body was one of the most important parts of a person life.
With that in mind, I would always get frustrated around this time of year
(January). I would show up at my local gym, and it was always more crowded than
usual. But I didn’t have to wait too long for the crowds to dwindle. Usually
around the end of February, first of March I would only see the regulars again.
This observation over time is one of many that made me decide to not do New
Year’s Resolutions. I could only see people that failed at them, and since I
didn’t want to be a failure, I wouldn’t make any resolutions. It wasn’t until
later that learned how important it was to set goals for myself.
