Instead of resolutions, I think people should be considering revolutions. A revolution is a grass-roots effort springing forth from leaders committed to changing the status quo. It grows into a movement as individuals gain influence with others through the strength and consistency of their own actions over time. Importantly, its the consistency part over time that matters most. Being able to stay at it for the long haul is what gives influence a chance to work and momentum a chance to build. Flash-in-the-pan self-improvement is as ineffective as it is comical. To truly make a difference, one must become different. For that to occur, one must have strength of character. Paradoxically, the best way to accomplish this isnt to focus upon ones self, stumbling through life in a pathetic stupor of self-awareness, but to focus upon ones purpose and calling. Such a focus is what gives the power to improve ones self over the long range. With eyes fixed on that horizon, self-improvement and lasting change will be automatic. So dont make a resolution this year. That is what the herd is doing. And you know what happens to herds? They get slaughtered. Rather, start a revolution in your life by summoning the strength of character to always be listening, learning, and living the life youve been called to. Work on yourself consistently by focusing on your contribution and calling, and you just might find that the world will follow. Happy New Year. Lead on!
