Why We Fail at Achieving Our Goals and How to Turn Things Around
Imagine starting the new year with big plans to change your life, only to watch your enthusiasm fade away as time passes. Why does this happen? Why do we wait for the new year to start fresh, instead of making changes in the middle or end of the year? Maybe the beginning of the year feels like a clean slate, but setting goals without proper planning can lead to frustration and failure. Let’s break down why we tend to fall short of our ambitions and explore how to create a realistic and effective approach to goal-setting.

Resolutions
New Year's resolution noun: a promise to do something differently in the new year. ~ Every year, the clock counts down. Our voices raise to the sky. Ten..nine..eight all the way to one. A kiss to Auld Lang Syne. Then, a New Year is born, and we all have the chance to start again. To make this year the year, we jump our hurdles, crawl out of the holes we've dug ourselves into, and keep climbing our ladders of success.

The Road to Authenticity
We've all done it before - stuck in that weird state of writer's paralysis, staring at a blank page for an embarrassing amount of time, overthinking how we want whatever we're about to create to be perceived by the world.

My excitement was winning.

Creativity Commitment
While on medical leave in 2016, recuperating from a hip replacement, I started a novel. Propped up outside in my backyard with my two dogs for company, and Mount Rainier's glacier peak shining at me in the distance, a story formed in my mind. The book's location was in my vicinity, with streets and landmarks that friends and residents would recognize. Its characters were both young and old, surviving and resisting - joining together in a harsh environment impacted by worldly events. As the characters came to life, words flowed, and my fingers flew across the keyboard to keep up with the speeding narrative zooming in my head. It was my sincere hope to get the book done pronto.

My New Year’s Resolution for a 2025 Creative Project. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
It was a chilly New Year’s morning when I sat by my window, gazing at the frost-laced world outside. The streets were quiet, as if time itself had taken a pause to reflect on the year gone by. A steaming cup of coffee warmed my hands, and despite the cold, I felt a spark of excitement building inside me. This year, 2025, would be different. I had made countless resolutions in the past—promises to eat healthier, exercise regularly, and break bad habits—but none had ever ignited my soul like the one I was about to make.

Through The Eye Of My iPhone. Honorable Mention in New Year, New Projects Challenge.
For the last year I genuinely had been in a writing slump, and it gets really discouraging when you don't feel like you can open up your laptop. For me it's been either all or nothing. Personally I can crank out a essay super fast, because writing for me has always come naturally. In fact in high school, one of our English class options we could do was creative writing in lieu of a normal English Lit class.
