New Year's Resolutions on Repeat

It’s the time of year when we set up what we resolve to do in the new year.  Many commercials and talk shows always seem to begin with the “healthier you” mantra and quickly point out the fact that this is the number one New Year’s Resolution that has a perpetual “repeat” button.

We should all be encouraged by those who have gone before us who hit the “repeat button” time and time again—never giving up.   They lead the way! 


Take for example Thomas Edison, most noted for his invention of the light bulb.  In reply to his numerous attempts on various experiments regarding electricity, Thomas Edison said, “I know several thousand things that won’t work.”

Abraham Lincoln had his own set of perceived failures before becoming our nation’s sixteenth president through the most trying time of our nation’s history.

What can be learned from these men?  In a word –Perseverance.

So what if your New Year’s Resolution(s) is or are the same as last years; you know what did not work and can build on that!

Take a week or two for thoughtful reflection on what resolutions you want this New Year—even if some are repeat resolutions.

Make those resolutions specific enough to be measured but not so easy as they do not stretch you in a healthy way.  If they are too vague, you’re let off the hook.

As the year progresses you more than likely will come along roadblocks.  Don’t let those stop you!  Persevere.  You just found one way that does not work, now keep moving.

I am sure by the end of 2017, you’ll have grown to understand new things about yourself, others, and will have developed a greater sense of who you are and what you are to be about!

HG Labs’ Brightly Green Cleaners wish you much success as you persevere in your resolutions for this New Year!
