Goals often have the curious ability of making intelligent people feel stupid. Or at least a little bit silly. Most of us keep falling short of our goals because we treat them like destinations when they’re actually directions.

Very few people actually set New Year Resolutions. In fact, I’ll even go so far as to say that very few people have EVER set a New Year Resolution in their life. Sure, they set new Year Wishes and make New Year Dreams, but few can actually be called a resolution. Their New Year Resolutions are, in fact, missing this key ingredient.
