@ Steve- Weave my wikkle wamb along you wascal. And yeh, you’re right too ;-)

@ Lauire – Nope

@ Chris – That’s an excellent point mate I agree wholeheartedly. I think most of us our guilty of doing that at some stage or other in our lives.

Thanks for this post. I think another important determination to make before you set out to achieve something is whether you actually want it, or it’s just something the advertising industry, your parents, your coworkers, etc. tell you that you ought to want. If it’s the latter it’s just another “way to be miserable.”

I think the key is the commitment thing – which is why most goals and NYRs don’t stick. Having a deep commitment means you can keep going for the long term, long after the initial burst of motivation has curled up in a corner and expired.

And you and Havi are right – the commitment to make things happen is nothing without the time and space to allow things to happen…

PS: Wook at the wittle wamb!

@ Laurie – You’re welcome and yes it was an excellent post. BTW, you need to take a sharp turn to the left otherwise you’ll end in a ditch.

Hi Tim! Havi’s post was cool. Thanks for sharing. I have spent too much time scolding myself for not being further down the healing and growth road than I am. Reading here post put it more in perspective. Thanks.

I chose the UK man voice on my GPS. His name is Tim. Now you get to tell me where to go all the time! I knew you’ve love that!

@ Dave – Ok point taken Mr Pedantic

@ Deb – I agree with what you’re saying, this stuff needs to be worked on regularly to get the most value. OTOH, people are often too busy with ‘life’ to do much else and of they see New Year as the opportunity they have been waiting for to make changes, then at least that’s something.

@ Julie – Your method seems fine too. I guess as long as it works for the individual that’s all that matters really.
