Process, not Perfection

I looked down at the iCal icon on my MacBook and saw the number 1 staring at me.

Yep, we’re at Day One of 2012.

It’s time for a lot of resolutions.

Change this.
Do this.
Be this.

All of these ideas and all of these pursuits have merit. We should strive to be better.

But far too often we get way too discouraged and abandon ship way too early. We stumble and because we are no longer 100% perfect in our quest, we give up.

The best success stories are never perfect. Those achievements we celebrate are often the result of many failed attempts.

The difference is the process. Those that succeed celebrate the process, not just the end result.

So now in 2012, as we write out our resolutions, let’s focus more on the shift in habit, rather than just the end goal.

Happy New Year!
