Dream >>> Plan >>> Do

Before starting, I would like to wish whoever reads this post (not sure if any of you even bother reading anymore!) a year filled with loads of happiness and inner peace.

I generally do not bother making resolutions on New Year's each year. They don't usually work for me. It generally takes a couple of days into the new year for the resolution fail hashtags to trend. I mean most of us do not get past the one month duration. 

Resolutions are more than just numbers in research. Our resolutions concern our health, wealth, relationships, family and personal development. They are about things that matter to us a lot. Most of our resolutions are like - Lose weight, save more, Enjoy life more, Stay healthy, Learn something new, Quit smoking, Fall in love (?), Spend more time with family etc. 

I am sure many of you have your own stories of how you started off your New Year's with so much of enthusiasm only to end up becoming busy with life in general and fall behind in your commitments to the above said resolutions. It has definitely happened to me and that's precisely why I do not bother anymore. 

What I started doing (yeah, started working on what I wanted a little ahead of time. Who said resolutions had to start on the first day of the year!?) is to dream about it, make a plan on how I wished to go about it (set a short and achievable time target, say, 3 months) and I am definitely going to DO it in that time.

So let us "dream >>> plan >>> do".
