Today’s post is intended for those readers who continue to follow their ritual of establishing resolutions for the new year.

Based on the survey’s statistics regarding how many people kept their resolutions after a month significantly varied by age. Resolutions were more popular among younger people (ages 18–29) than older adults. Respondents (only 25%) indicated they stay committed to their resolutions after 30 days. Leadership experts emphasize most people tend to make multiple resolutions which they fail to prioritize; thus, they fall short. Consequently, they advise it is important to turn resolutions into habits to maintain them throughout the year. Small, actionable routines.

Back in August I wrote a post about Rajeev Ram one of my favorite tennis players. Specifically, how the consistency of his habits made him a record setting champion. Consistency of habits takes discipline.

The big picture: Stop kicking the can down the road.“The distance between dreams and reality is discipline.” Paulo Coelho (Brazilian author).
