		<description>brilliant advice Craig- just what I needed to hear today. I was planning on doing my two week review (well actually my New Year intentions weren&#039;t only thought of on NYE).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I knew I could reassess,check my motivations for change and make adjustments so I am happy to hear this will keep me accountable (true to myself and my readers).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I will hang around and see else inspires me here. &lt;br/&gt;I planned to space mine out (42 good intentions not resolutions) over the year anyway and cross them off.</description>

		<description>If our goals mean that we need help, support or encouragement from friends family or colleagues, NY is not a good time to announce them. We need them to be taken seriously, not for them to be lost in the sea of half-hearted and unfulfilled resolutions of others.</description>

		<description>Wow, I really got an uppercut from you. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Personally I think that goal setting in the new year results from the desire of having a fresh beginning, fresh start, as if we can leave our past mistakes and disappointment and start all over again.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Your point is really good, it&#039;s no longer about the procrastinating, waiting for anything to happen, or January 1 to make a resolution to change. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;When you want to grow, you have to change and that can start today. You want it or you don&#039;t want it?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In any case, this is January, a new year, so let&#039;s make this event a time of reflection of the past year and the goal for the new year.&lt;br/&gt;And the goals must include keep on growing anytime of the year.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thanks for sharing Craig!&lt;br/&gt;Robert</description>

		<description>Great post Craig... I don’t believe in New Year’s resolutions anymore as I have realized that I and my life is a constantly evolving work in progress that doesn’t need a start date. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I don’t see the need in a NY resolution when I set goals for myself on an almost daily basis. Let’s just say that this year will see me continuing to educate, shape and test myself, my mind and my body to the very limits. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I will be continuing to develop myself both physically and mentally and the end result will be measured and evident by what I can achieve in my family, sport and career lives over the next 12 months.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I&#039;ve started off on the right foot too...4 days into the New Year and I&#039;ve already got a promotion and a new role at work that will really challenge me and make life interesting... yay me!!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Happy New Year, I look forward to continuing to read your posts and get a stiff neck from nodding my head in agreement &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Kind regards,&lt;br/&gt;Rae :o)</description>

<p>I&#8217;ve started off on the right foot too&#8230;4 days into the New Year and I&#8217;ve already got a promotion and a new role at work that will really challenge me and make life interesting&#8230; yay me!!</p>

		<description>Great post, Craig. I think New Year&#039;s Resolutions are stupid, and they can also &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://www.blog.neverthesamerivertwice.com/2008/01/02/having-goals-will-make-you-blind/&quot; REL=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;make you blind&lt;/a&gt; to other opportunities. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;One of the problems with rigid goals is that they give you no choice but to ignore internal and external environmental changes (ie, you have to run in a lightning storm), or you are forced to &quot;give up.&quot; It&#039;s important to be flexible and allow for changes as you choose your targets.</description>

		<description>Hi Blaine. Thanks for dropping by. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Where I live (Melbourne) it&#039;s gonna be about 100 degrees today.. so while you battle the snow and cold on that side of the world, we battle extreme heat!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Cheers.</description>
