An Advice that will help you to get your goals this 2018

If you divide what you want to achieve in 365 parts, I assure you that it'll get much easier. The problem that many people face when they resolve to achieve something is that they see what they want as a whole, and obviously what they see is an impossible-to-achieve goal.

What do you want for this 2018? To loose weight, a better relationship with your kids, with you wife, to be free from an adiction? Whatever it may be, you'll get discourage if you think that achieve your goal consists of just one step. Remember this: NO ACHIEVEMENT IS GOTTEN WITH JUST ONE STEP.

Any feat you want to achieve (or that has been achieved) will require time, sacrifice, care, discipline, perseverance, planing, etc., and obviously you can't apply these on just one day, unless, of course, that you know a person that in one day has lost weigh, gotten a dream marriage, restored his/her children relationship, been free from an addiction, etc.

Just in case, there is no magic pill that will make you to loose weigh without exercising and eating healthy food, and those persons that say to the ones with a great marriage, "how lucky you were to get such a beautiful marriage!", don't know what they're saying, they're wrong, because it cost them YEARS of learning to give in, to forgive, to understand and to sacrifice.

So, more than a goal, see what you want to achieve as a direction for YOUR DAILY STEPS to aim, and these DAILY STEPS, these do have to be your goals! EACH DAY AN INDIVIDUAL GOAL, which altogether will take you to where you want to get.

Learn to find satisfaction in achieving these daily goals, in the little ones, each and every day. Learn to be happy:
- Not only when you got your ideal weigh, but you finished a day of eating healthy and exercising.
- Not only when somebody tells you "how great marriage you have!", but when finished a prayer for your spouse (which is one of the many little steps to get to marriage restoration).
- Not only when you "feel free" from your addiction, but when your day is up and you didn't fall.

Doing this you not only will enjoy the process until you get where you want to go, but also you'll realize that doing exploits isn't something for a few people, but YOU also will feel that can do your own exploit, and you'll know there's nothing you cannot achieve.

New Year or New You?

Most people in this time of the year start to share what they wish for next year: more health, more opportunities, more family union, etc. The problem resides in that most of them wait for those improvements just to happen, and few are the ones that take responsibility for that to happen.

If you think that this year 2017 was equal to 2016, and this one was equal to 2015, and so on, I think that the problem doesn't reside in the years, but in you. And I can assure that, without fear to be wrong, that for you, if you don't change, 2018 will be equal too.

Instead of wishing for 2018 to be different, take responsibility of yourself so you can be different, and you will see that you'll have more authority and power to make the changes you need.

If you didn't like your 2017, don't blame 2017. Of course you didn't have control over the things that happened to you, but you did have control over your response. And it'll be so in 2018. As John Maxwell says: "You don't have control over the winds, but you do over the sail". 

The Bible teaches in Ecclesiastes 9:11 that opportunity come to all. That's means that in 2017 you did have opportunities, and that's means that in 2018 you'll still have them. So, will you be prepared for them? Will you have the right attitude? Will you expectant everyday for them to come or will you still be lamenting for the ones you lost?

I encourage you to have a more-than-a-conqueror attitude all 2018, knowing that your Heavenly Father will be with you all the time to help you in any situation you might go through. No more lamenting and no more complaints! Your Father has given you all what you need to see your dreams come true!
