Many of us have either started, are working on, or giving thought to New Year’s resolutions. We have our inspiration and every intention of seeing them realized. Although there are many approaches to successfully achieving your goal, it’s how you start out that can determine a successful outcome.

No Television Please
Shortly after moving to New York City, my old, portable television broke down. I was in my twenties and busy exploring the wonderful, exciting place that was my new home, so I didn’t replace the television for a long time. After I did, I indulged in a cable service, and my love of old movies. I didn’t think about it, but over the years the increase of movie and specialty channels became less of a luxury and more of a necessity. Then as entertainment became lost in a sea of “reality” shows and special effects – all wanting to shock with an increase in violence and sexuality – I had become lost in the pursuit of trying to find something interesting to watch.

What are You Missing
It is amazing how many people miss the point of a message just because they fail to read to the end of it. Case in point: I work part time for a membership association. We recently changed the location of our monthly meeting. This information (along with a link to the map with directions) was emailed to all members. It was amazing how many people showed up at the former location, just because they read the first paragraph (the monthly meeting reminder), and stopped there. Even though I had "new location" in bold red letters (and in the subject line) it was still missed by a lot of people.
