University of Scranton research\u00a0suggests that just 8% of people achieve their New Year\u2019s goals. Thank you University of Scranton for that bit of motivation, I am sure you are also going to tell me my marriage has a 50% chance of ending in divorce too, huh? \u00a0 There are all kinds of stats out there that tell you horrifying numbers. \u00a0There are all kinds of people out there that will tell you it is a waste to make resolutions. You will hear a lot of complaints\u00a0about all the ‘newbies’ at the gym this time of year (I have a separate post<\/a> for those haters that\u00a0I wrote two years ago). \u00a0What I am here to tellI you is that all those numbers and that negative energy does not matter. \u00a0What matters is how bad you want your goals, resolutions whatever you want to call them, to come true. That is it.<\/p>\n

I do not mess around when it comes to setting goals, the art of making yourself a better person and going after the life you want is serious business and takes commitment every single day. My specific goals for 2015 can be found here<\/a>. \u00a0I truly enjoy helping others set goals as well so\u00a0in light of the new year, I wanted to share with you some of my tools and guidelines I use\u00a0for myself to make the things I want happen and keep me\u00a0on track. \u00a0There is also a little bonus recipe at the bottom for your enjoyment!<\/p>\n
