Here's your success mentor Darren Hardy.

So why do we cling to the familiar comfort of New Year's resolutions knowing

well that they are a notorious failure rate? It is time for a radical shift in our approach to personal growth and

success. So this morning I will share with you a personal process that I've done for

the past four years that has been transformative. This goes beyond the superficiality of resolutions to something

far more profound, more personal, and more importantly, more effective. Here's the scary reality

of resolutions. A mere 9% of people feel their New Year's resolution. Here's

resolution. A mere 9% of people feel their New Year's resolutions were successful.

That is an abysmal 91% failure rate.

That is so horrifying, it's ludicrous to even attempt.

Would you skydive if there was a known 91% failure rate?

Would you eat something with a 91% chance that it was poisonous and you'd die? If a revolver had 10

chambers and nine of them were loaded, would you play Russian roulette with it? Oh,

Hell's no, you wouldn't, but that is the game people play with their

aspirations, with their ambitions, with their ambitions, with their

self-confidence, to do better at the beginning of the year.

Here's the reason why resolutions fail.

They fail to connect with our deeper selves, our true desires and values.

Here's what I suggest you do otherwise.

Write yourself a letter.

This isn't a to-do list or a set of goals. It's an intimate conversation with your future self.
