New Year Resolutions: Unachievable Lazy Goals

“It is your right and responsibility to enact your own internal revolution, a private uprising inside your mind that self-sabotage, fear of success, or any negative resistance force will ever stop you from achieving your goals.” – Gary Ryan Blair

The following is a short list of goals and resolutions in no particular order that (for most people) will never get achieved in 2017…2018…nor 2019 and beyond.

Allow me to provide the list first…and the reason why immediately after.

1. Getting in great physical shape through a diet and exercise regimen.

2. Launching a business or initiative whose aim is to take control of your destiny.

3. The pursuit of any calling in writing, painting, music, film, dance, or any creative art.

4. Any program of spiritual enlightenment to obtain greater peace of mind.

5. The learning of a new language or hobby so as to expand your horizons.

6. Any course designed to overcome an unwholesome habit or addiction.

7. Education of any kind that would provide greater career options.

8. Any act of political, moral, or ethical courage.

9. The decision to change some unhealthy pattern of thought or conduct in ourselves.

10. The taking of any principled stand in the face of adversity.

11. Any act that entails commitment of the heart, time and money.

12. Becoming debt free and financially secure.

Why is it that these goals or resolutions will get very little traction in the New Year?

How is it even remotely possible that most people will barely make a dent on any of their goals or resolutions in 2017?
     

The answer: Self-Sabotage

Self sabotage is a state of mind which damages your belief in yourself and your abilities to achieve that which you want to achieve.

Self-sabotage is the thing that is holding you back from doing what you know you need to be doing.

While it can’t be seen, touched, heard or even smelled…the extraordinary thing about self-sabotage is that it makes its presence felt. It manifests itself in your body and your mind, and goes to work like an angry jackhammer…pounding hard and loud.

What does self-sabotage feel like? It begins with sadness, stress and distress. We feel like an imposter…someone who is unworthy of success and we begin to act in ways that work to repel success.

It pervades everything…how we think, talk, walk and even our posture and facial expression is impacted by it. We feel unloved and begin to act in self-destructive ways…in effect, we seize failure from the jaws of victory.

Self-sabotage is negative energy. It has no redeeming value. It exists to debilitate not liberate talent. It’s goal is to take you off course…and keep you there.

Self-sabotage is self-generated, self-perpetuated and hell bent on your self-destruction.

Self-sabotage does not play to wound, it plays to kill. It places a bulls eye on whatever you want to be, have and do and aggressively works to kill your hopes, dreams and fondest desires.

To beat self-sabotage…be prepared for war as it understands nothing but brute strength and it will not give in without one hell of a fight.      Continue Reading
