Why do New Years Resolutions fail? Mainly, because they are only a statement, or what we wish for in the coming year. There are usually no action plans, no deadlines, no backup plans. Sometimes they are unrealistic resolutions, with no other thought or plans beside the statement. Catherine Pulsifer, New Years Achievements

Goal Setting Quotes

So what do we do every year during the holiday season? We make outlandish, unattainable and often ridiculous resolutions that almost all of us already know we will not keep. In fact, most people don’t even remember half the New Year’s resolutions they made come Valentineï¿½s Day. Don’t fall in the trap. Michael L. Eads, No New Year’s Resolutions
Memory

Enthusiasm

We set resolutions because we want something to change in our life. But if we are not specific and have no detailed plans about how we are going to change it then we can expect things to remain as they currently are. And we will end the year without the resolution accomplished. So rather than set them if we should recognize what we have accomplished in the past year and build on them, where is there the potential to do more, to be more. Catherine Pulsifer
Potential

Instead of trying to change your entire life in January, the simpler strategy is to adopt a 12-month plan where you’re making constant improvements. S. J. Scott, Resolutions That Stick!

Funny Quotes about Life

You may know them under their more usual name of New Year Resolutions (the capitals show how important they are!); you may also be familiar with the realisation, by the end of January, that you have either forgotten what you had resolved because the list was too long and you’ve mislaid the paper it was jotted on, or that those you do remember were simply unmanageable!Alicia Brent, Resolutions & Reflections for the New Year
Time Quotes

We are designed to thrive off of success after success, but the problem most people have with New Yearï¿½s resolutions is that they are not generally short-term plans that are wired for a quick adrenaline rush of success. Sharlene Snow, New Years Resolutions
Success Quotes

Every man naturally persuades himself that he can keep his resolutions, nor is he convinced of his imbecility but by length of time and frequency of experiment. They whom frequent failures have made desperate, cease to form resolutions, and they who are become cunning, do not tell them.Samual Johnson
Clever Quotes

There is too much said at New Year’s about turning over a new leaf. Are the old leaves all so badly written that we must hasten to forget them? Is the blank whiteness of the untouched page more pleasant to the eye or more fortifying to the will than those closely written, underlined, untidy, but familiar pages which make up the story of one’s life?Bliss Perry
Life Quotes

It’s not just a New Year’s Resolution but a resolution for a new life, a life filled with God’s goodness any time of the year!Roni Adigun, The Believer’s New Year’s Resolution Guide
