Blog #10! Setting Goals. Start Now.

Hey!

Welcome back to another edition of the Rise & Grind blog. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and is getting exciting for Christmas!

 

Speaking of the holidays, I wanted to talk about the new year coming up.

Every year as October, November, and December roll around you hear people start talking about how they will make a change once the new year happens… Nothing makes me cringe more…I repeat…nothing makes me cringe more. Why?

As a society, why are we fixated on this idea that just because a new year is coming that we will all of the sudden make changes in our lives? STOP PLANNING AND START NOW. There is two glaring issues with new years resolutions.

1. Why are we waiting to make a change in our life? Why not start right now, or whenever you say you have a new goal. You shouldn’t waste time in your life. There will never be a “right time” to do something. You have to just dive in and do it now.

EXAMPLE: Its October 22, 2017. Your 20 pounds overweight. You say to yourself, My goal is to lose these 20 pounds in 2018. First off I am not hating on the goal, I think its a good goal, but why are we waiting an additional 2 months to make a change in our life? Start the process now, better yourself now, live the life you want to live now.

2. Most goals fail within the first month of the new year. Why is the gym so packed the first two weeks of January? All those new year resolutions. As a society, we just think change and good fortune will happen overnight. Because we put in the effort for the first two weeks of new year, we can take a break for awhile. News flash, this break ends up lasting until October/November of that year, and the whole process starts over again. Get mentally tough, accomplish goals now, look in the mirror and envision a better picture of yourself by starting those goals right now.

As for myself, a couple goals that I started this year and didn’t wait around for include:

• Starting this blog
• Starting my YouTube channel. A big goal for my YouTube was I wanted to hit 10,000 views by the end of 2017. I currently am at around 7,600 views! 10k was a lofty goal, but I am not going to give up! (so go check out one of my vides lol)
• Playing pro roller hockey
• Taking the CPA exam
• Traveling the world
• Getting a 4.0 in school
