It’s almost that time again — New Year, New Me — rah rah hear me roar, my New Year’s Resolution this year is ___________ < (fill in the blank with some lofty goal here).

Does it look familiar? We all do it. Wait, I take that back. We don’t all do it. Many of us used to but found other methods that work better. Some of us still do, and the rest of us gave up.

According to Forbes.com

approximately 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail

80%?? That’s a lot.

And according to inc.com 91% won’t reach their goals!

HOLY SHIT!!!

That’s a lot of people feeling like failures, hanging their heads down low, and giving up on goals and dreams.

80%. Wow. 91%. Geezus.

Honestly, it doesn’t matter which number is more accurate; the point is, it’s super high!

So why is this? Why do so many people fail at sticking to their New Year’s Resolutions anyway?

I’m gonna shed a little light and blow some sunshine up your butt because I’m really good at doing that…
