Why Resolve anything?
I resolve because I want to get something, to change something. Even myself self. Darn.
But still – I do want something to be different. So what is my scope of work? That helps!
- Identify the doable goal, and an approach.
- Select a path that works, and can succeed.
- Identify the proven, practical action steps.
- Begin the beginning not the dream ending.
Resolutions fail to work because they are resolutions.
They fail because they are the end, not the path.
Success is not difficult. It’s just new. Success is not the goal, it is the path to get there. We humans can sabotage our goal in many creative ways. Mostly by a fear of failure, or a fear of success! Darn again.
But we have ways to succeed. Some of these ways are noted in some of our most recent blogs on tools of the spirit … and in one overarching way (see below). Here are the steps, in brief:
- Concede, surrender to the reality of the dissatisfaction – the problem.
- Decide to take action on personal/psychological steps that work.
- Assess mentally, or with writing (better), past mental blocks.
- Identify effective behaviors and daily actions of change.
- Journal, or inventory, a personal daily checklist.
- Acquire an attitude of service to others.
The above path (in more or less detail), has been used successfully by millions of people. Their life is better, their business is better, and their feelings about themselves are better, much better. And, not surprisingly, the people around them behave better and want to join in these feelings and success.
The above path can be applied to your business, your profession, or your personal life.
Peace is possible.
If you are a professional asset analyst, or a vocational appraiser, these steps equally apply: 
- Acknowledge today’s changes to competence, computation, and AI.
- Decide to learn or do something else.
- Recognize your mental blocks, resistance, and avoidance.
- Pinpoint habits toward stepped learning and practice.
- Keep track of your showing up, and your success.
- Remember: professionals produce service.
Attitude and action changes things.
Your aim is the process, not the wished-for end result. Focus on the course, not the goal.
