Study Notes
Hope and Change in the New Year
- Hope is a beautiful thing, inspiring us to see possibilities and change.
- The new year offers a powerful opportunity for reflection and goal-setting.
- Examine the gap between current and desired lives.
- Appreciate and explore any inspiring ideas or desires.
- Focus on consistent, small actions rather than grand outcomes.
- Resolutions often fail because we focus on the outcome (the "hero") rather than the steps of the journey.
- True change comes from daily commitment to small tasks, not unattainable goals.
Sustainability of Change
- Change is not a novelty; it demands sustained effort.
- Don't latch onto fleeting goals.
- Break down complex goals into manageable steps.
- Do not fixate on the "moon"; focus on the progress.
- The perception that progress is inadequate often leads to setbacks.
- Identify the obstacles that are drawing you back to prior routines.
- Stop allowing life to suggest alternative paths or old routines; resist the urge to abandon goals.
Resolutions and the Journey
- Resolutions should focus on daily actions and commitments for consistency.
- Don't equate change with immediate results; focus on daily steps.
- Success necessitates consistency rather than focusing on the final destination.
- Obsessive focus on the finish line can hinder progress.
- Success stems from consistent action, not just the final goal.
- Focus on daily commitment rather than a specific outcome.
Small Steps Lead to Big Changes
- Life doesn't change just because the calendar flips.
- Progress occurs through consistent small actions, not singular overwhelming goals.
- Each 'yes' toward small things contributes to larger changes.
- This is the key to long-term success.
Understanding Action and Outcome
- Don't be concerned with the outcome; focus on the actions.
- The outcome will follow naturally; don't chase the result.
- The current "you" contains all the potential for change; tap into that potential.
- Consistent effort cultivates change — not grandiose ambitions.
