Anything Goes : Making Goals and Sticking to Them by Samantha Belle

I see people every year that make resolutions, and they almost PLAN to fail! It's as if they think that the way to bring in the new year is to make a resolution, and accept that it won't happen! It makes me sad because the only reason they fail is because people give up! Usually, people also make really complicated, too specific, or even too vague resolutions that disappoint them quickly. What guidelines do you follow to make any goals, not just once a year resolutions!? I really try to focus on what is realistic and more lax than my ultimate goal, so that I can build and progress without being upset that I didn't hit the ultimate goal yet! I make, kind of like, checkpoint goals, and that works for me!
