The Challenge – Make It Known

The Challenge:

In the spirit of the New Year, this week we should all take a moment to define our largest resolution for the coming year.  Once you are ready, the challenge is let others know about your resolution so that they can support you in the pursuit of your goal.

This task is worth 25-points on your scorecards.

Thought Provoking Questions:

How many people did you tell about your resolution?

Did you choose people that will support you in this goal?

The Lesson:

Defining our goals and dreams is only the first step along the pathway to achieve them.  Knowing what we want to accomplish can be tough, but once defined the hardest part is getting started.  Depending on the size of your goal, the first few steps can seem quite lengthy and overwhelming.  That is where this challenge leads to its greatest benefit; by telling others of your New Year’s resolution you are inviting them to assist you in this journey as you take the first few steps.

The more people you tell the more you are welcoming the encouragements they bring, but be sure to tell only those people that you feel will provide you the proper support.  In the best cases, the people you tell may even be able to connect with someone that can directly help you accomplish your goal.  Lastly, by making your New Year’s resolution known, you are solidifying them from a hopeful dream to a concrete goal for 2010.
