Well it’s time. Time for the traditional New Year resolutions.

How is your year going to be different? Do you have a plan? Do you have it written down? Is it visible to you daily? Is your family aware of these concepts? Are they onboard? (ouch)

So, most of this stuff you have heard before right? You’ve thought about it right?

You’ve prioritized your list right? Are you pretty much in the same shape as you were last year. What happened?

You made your New Year’s resolutions. You wrote them down. You tucked them in your purse or wallet. You wrote them on your whiteboard. You put them on the refrigerator. And guess what you probably have accomplished squat!

Why?  Because you wrote a resolution not a Constitution.

If you think about it a resolution is more of a short term answer. It’s done, it’s over. Whereas a constitution is something you live by.

Moral of the story. It’s not enough to make annual resolutions. It needs to be a Daily compounding of ideas, answers, tweaking and resolutions. Something you live by daily. Something that sets the foundation for you life. Your life is not about one shot or one idea.

So instead of just writing out your resolutions, write out your own personal Constitution. Something that encompasses your today and forever!

(Remember you can always amend your Constitution.)
