What is New Year's Resolution? How to set New Year's Resolution? And why do we need it?
New year is nothing but a new hope with lot of new expectations. After one long year of mixed, up and down experiences, every one expects good luck in the coming year with their clean and clear mind and also tries to correct themselves from the mistakes that they have done in the past year. When we expect good things to happen in our life that means we need something New or better than what we have now. When we need something, it will never come to us without even giving a try on it. Make a list of all your new year's wishes and changes which you want to do in your life. Now, you have a goal-list that you need to accomplish by the end of this year. And these "Set of goals and changes" which we are hoping is our New Year's Resolution.
Every person has many goals in their day-to-day life. Whether it is big or small, there are always many ways/paths to accomplish our goals. Few goals can take months to accomplish, and few take years, but some goals may take just a week or a day to achieve it. When we have a goal or when we have set a new goal in the beginning, we never know "How difficult is it?", "What problems may arise in our path?", "And how long will it take to reach?" Nothing will come to us without our effort. When we need something, we need to work hard to get it. We should always keep a goal, because goals make us strong, knowledgeable, it keeps us updated, and also helps us utilize our time well for a better and happy life in the society.
Here are few simple steps which you can take to achieve your goals in an effective manner.
Target Time
This is a very first and important step you need to take when you have a goal. Human mind is very strong and active, only when it is hungry, otherwise it is too lazy and gets distracted easily. So make use of it! Create Hunger for the goal. Hunger can't wait for a long time. It needs to be satisfied within certain time limit. In the same way, set a target time to your hungry goal. Time helps us to get more focused on our work. Whenever we have time limit, we work fast, we put focus only on work and it kicks distractions away from us which come in our path.
Planning
Planning makes the job better and perfect. Every job needs planning. It shows us the best path and makes us strong and keeps us prepared for the difficulties that may arrive in our way. It pushes us straight towards our goal without wasting our time, since planning creates a narrow path where there is less difficulties and distractions.
These are the few important steps which need to be taken during planning stage

It pushes us straight towards our goal without wasting our time, since planning creates a narrow path where there is less difficulties and distractions.
These are the few important steps which need to be taken during planning stage
- Finding paths: Use your basic knowledge to find different possible paths for your goal and make a list of it. Now, choose the best one, which you think is feasible at that point of time.
- Splitting the goal: No job can be accomplished in one go. So, split your goal into smaller tasks. Set a time limit for each of these tasks. Also, make sure you do the same for other possible paths, which you listed in Step 1. This keeps us ready for future hindrances in the path you have chosen.
- Acquire resources: Now, its time to collect all the resources that we need to complete each tasks.
Implementation
Now, you have the required resources, the chosen path, and the smaller tasks for your goal, ready. Put all these together and start working towards your goal.
Even though you have taken all the above steps carefully, this implementation stage will not go as smooth as you expected. This is the phase where you may experience most of the unexpected difficulties. You may also realize that the path which you chose is not the best one. Don't be disappointed!! You don't need to stop or spend more time to correct yourself in your way. Just choose another path from your list that you think is the right one at that point of time, because you have back up plans ready in your planning list.
If you have followed the planning stage precisely, it will help you walk towards your goal by choosing another better path for your goal. Since we have the back up plan, you do not need to start all over again for the new chosen path. This will not take much time to get us back on track. You may also need to either change, or add or remove few steps as per the new plan and collect the required resources. Now, continue working towards your goal.
Execution
Now, it is time to execute your hard work. Till now, all the work that you have done for your goal, is only based on your knowledge. When your goal gets exposed to the outside world, do not expect only positive feedback. Accept all the feedback that makes sense to you. Chose the right ones which you give better shape to your goal and make changes accordingly. Keep working on your goal until you feel proud and satisfied.
Success:
Success is a journey, not a destination. When you have achieved something, it makes you stronger and prepares you to accept new challenges. So get ready to work on your next goal. Do not take a break, because you still have lots to achieve. The only best way for continuous learning and to remember the knowledge you learned, is to SHARE IT!!!.
