It might be all of us have the same question like this: “why should I have goal?
My life is good enough through the years.” Yes, your life might be good
enough, but have you wonder what will you be in 5 or 10 years in the future?
I heard a nice quote from the radio:
“If you never plan your future, the future will keep come to you,
BUT if you plan your future, the future will come like what you want it to be.”
What do you think about that quote? Nice isn’t it?
In this post, I would like to share 10 things that might help you to create your
resolutions and how to pursue it until the end of the year. Good luck!
WHY SHOULD I MAKE RESOLUTIONS?

Over 60 percent people make the same
resolution year after year (I do included in
those 60s which I want to get out from it
this year). What have you done last year?
Do you want to lose your weight but failed
to achieve it? Take your time and evaluate.
1TIPS:
Be honest with yourself. Why you fail to
achieve your goal? Most people say
they failed because of their external
factors. Is it really just because of your
external factors? Be honest.

2What priorities in your life? Is it your family?
Career? Pleasure? Friends? When we know
our level of priority, it will be easier for us to
chase it. You’ll be easily confused or hard to
decide (which most people do)
if you don't know which one need to be
prioritized.
TIPS:
Try to write down your “Goals List.”
If you feel that you have a distance
with your family because being too
busy, why don't decide to spend your
weekend with your family?
FIRST THINGS FIRST

When you write down your list, please be
realistic with your goals. Through your
evaluation and strategy, are you really gonna
achieve it? I didn’t say that you should shut
your highest dream, but if you think you can’t
achieve it , don’t write it down (or you’ll add it
to your list next year - again).
TIPS:
Don't write “I wanna be a better person
this year.” Think deep. Which part you
want to better? Arrive on time? No
delaying task? Write it specifically.
I believe you can do it :)
3 BE REALISTIC

4After you finish to write your “Goals List”,
PRINT IT!
I was finished my Goals List, but then I just
keep it in my computer and didn’t see it
again until the end of the year. Why?
Because I forget on what folder I placed it.
Forget where your Goals List = Disremember
your target = You didn’t achieve it.
TIPS:
Write it down in ONE piece of paper. More
paper means more target. It’s good to
have much target, but more paper could
make you feel lazy because there’s to
many goals to be achieved.
PRINT >> STICK IT TO YOUR WALL / DESK
PRINT IT OUT

“Are you crazy Richie!? You want me to share
my personal Goals List to my friends?” Maybe
that’s running through your mind now.
YES! When you share your goals, you let
them know what you want to pursue so they
may encourage and could offer you a hand to
help!
TIPS:
Share with your closest one, like
mentor or partner, boyfriend or
girlfriend, and maybe your brother or
sister.
Don’t ever share it to people who you
don't even know.
5 SHARE YOUR GOALS

On your ways to achieve goals, there will be
many problems and challenges that you’ll
have to face it. When it cause you down or
desperate, quickly stand up fight it, and fly
away as winner!
“Before your feet hit the floor in the morning,
get rid of negative thinking before it even
starts - Joyce Meyer”
TIPS:
Be wise on critics and suggestions. Learn
to accept the critics by taking it
positively. Keep walking even when you
receive “negativity” from others.
6 FLY AWAY FROM“NEGATIVITY”

7 STAY HUNGRY
What I meant here isn’t just physically, but
also for knowledge (imagine a zombie that
so exhausted to eat human). There’s a ton
of room for improvement. Digging your
skills and talents will make you being a
better person!
TIPS:
Prepare 15-20 minutes per day to read
books and articles on the internet. I love
to read inc.com, fastcompany.com, and
forbes.com. Find topics that you want to
know more (don’t just read jokes).

Put your energy on what you do everyday!
No more boring people, boring meetings,
or boring moments in your life. Inject your
passion and start to amaze your
surroundings!
TIPS:
Start your day with prayer and ask God
for power. Also put family photos or your
special someone on your desk to make
you remember, that you work to make
yourself happy and craft their smile.

Time should never be wasted. Where do
you waste most of your time everyday?
Sitting in the car and surrounded by the
traffic jam? Watching TV?
You can cut it down and try to learn a new
skill. Trust me, it is never too late to
develop your new skill and new things.
Write this down on your resolutions.
TIPS:
Dare to try on things that make you
happy. Maybe you feel happy when
you’re watching Masterchef. Why just
watch? Go to store and try to cook! Either
it’s bad or good, at least you dare to do it
and feel happy when you’re doing it.
9 DARE TO TRY SOMETHING NEW

Maybe this is the hardest point to do,
commitment.
You have to persistence to achieve every goals
you have.
When you forget on what you want to do today,
recall your goals by look back to your Goals
List. There’s long journey, but learn to enjoy
your race until the finish line.
Wish you all the best for this year, friends!
TIPS:
When you feel exhausted, take a break in
a short moment (don’t get too long).
Take your sweet escape and back on the
track.
The race are waiting you.
