It’s late. I’m tired. I have friends over. I want to just sit, relax, play brawl, and hangout.
But I’m not.
I’m at my laptop writing because I swore I would write one blog post a day. While what I’m writing may not be the most influential, its writing, it’s my resolution being fulfilled.
Most days we can go full force on completing our resolutions, other days, we have to remind ourselves that delivering something crappy is worth more than not delivering at all.
Stay Positive & Especially When We Are Delivering To Ourselves

Hi Garth! Yes, of course this was my resolution as well, though I was a bit easier on myself: write SOMETHING every day (gives me a bit of leeway). Here is a tip for what I do with my resolutions: I put them in the present, such as “I write every day.” Then I consider that these are year-long resolutions, not resolutions for one year. So I figure that if by the end of the year I can read that statement in all honesty (if by the end of the year I do write every day) then I have achieved my resolution.
That is very clever! I think you have just convinced me to rewrite my resolutions. “year-long resolutions”… pardon me while I call you a genius! The feeling of achievement is going to be great. It’s all in the mindset. Keep up the great work!
