Welcome back to the podcast. My name is Joseph Clough and this is episode 772.

Now this is being broadcasted live on YouTube. YouTube.com slash Joseph Clough and it was recorded on the 30th of December.

So just before New Year's Eve or the New Year's Day, so New Year's Eve Eve, and you'll be

getting it in a couple of weeks or a week or so. But it's going to be really important either way

because this whole episode is really about what are we going to be doing to plan our year to get

the life that we want to be the person that we desire to achieve and receive the things which will serve us, our family and our community?

And ultimately why resolutions, in my opinion, aren't that good?

Like, when we really think about it, how many of our resolutions have we stuck to when it comes to making changes?

Usually the first couple of days, week and all those kind of things, it's okay. But they usually

fizzle out. Not for everyone, of course, but I would say, I mean, if we're being realistic,

a lot of resolutions

don't really go long term. So what should we do instead? Well, in my opinion, we've got to look

at the deeper picture of why it's important to make the changes, not just to make a decision based on the time of year.

It is ultimately a new year and a new day, but every day is new, right?

We make decisions all the time, but why aren't we being held accountable for them?

So if I were you, if you were to make a new decision when it comes to what you would like

to achieve, be very specific in the beginning.

How do you want your year to play out?

Be generally honest with yourself.

How would you like to experience the things that you want out of life?

Is it going to be mainly in your health, your relationships, your career,

your finances? Is it going to be even deeper than that? And by deeper I mean your identity.
