🔍 Why This Matters

Have you ever wondered why most of us don’t follow through on our New Year’s resolutions?

It’s not because we lack discipline or don’t care. More often, it’s because our goals are too vague, too big, or too far removed from our daily routines. Without a clear plan, even meaningful goals can feel overwhelming — and that’s when we give up.

I remember expecting myself to exercise for a full hour every day — but I never got around to it. It felt too difficult to start. But when I reduced the goal to just 30 minutes a day, it became easier to begin. And once I started, momentum built naturally. That small shift made it easier to stay consistent — and consistency is where growth happens.

The good news? Progress becomes much easier when we break big goals into smaller, manageable steps. Celebrating small wins give us clarity, build confidence, and create momentum. With each step, the goal feels more achievable — and we begin to believe in our ability to follow through.
