We have all been overlooked and insulted, but nothing robs us of self-confidence like failing to achieve a goal we set for ourselves. We set ourselves up for short and long-term failure when we make New Year's Resolutions that we are tepid about.
When we make a lukewarm resolution, we inevitably lose interest in weeks or months. We have all made that resolution to exercise more or eat healthier that falls by the wayside at first opportunity.
Though we may not know it, we are assuring ourselves that we are powerless. Every time we set a goal and fail, especially when we fail out of apathy, it removes us from control in our own lives.
Set small goals. Set goals that you care enough about to see through. Then accomplish them. It will have the opposite effect - you will become empowered little by little. And you will realize that you are your own master and you have the power to change your own life.
