Resolution
Now was this not predestined to be my topic of today?! Here is one girl that
has not stuck to resolve to write this blog.
Benjamin Franklin’s Virtue of Resolution had two agreements:
1.
Resolve to perform what you ought.
2.
Perform without fail what you resolve.
These virtues relate to our attitudes toward activities and
the challenges or opportunities they present. Good character builds from virtue.
In my particular case I could cite a bunch of issues as to
not writing this blog; building my own business, hunting new territory, being
CEO to my household, and helping my friends reach some pivotal goals. BUT, I am
a no excuses kinda gal. Excuses give us reasons to continue with poor behaviour,
versus RESOLVE to perform!
Resolve is defined as to decide firmly on a course of
action.
Decision making can be easy; sticking to the action,
affording your discipline to perform what you have decided is another beast. A
beast it is because I have seen some keen sharp people discipline themselves so
tightly it must ensure success. Take for example the athlete, persistent with
physical, mental and social work outs. Each day a repetitive cycle, they grind
over and over to achieve another personal best. That takes a beast. Another
form of beast; the advocate, a warrior for justice, rights or moral servitude awakens
each day to resolve their performance again. Their battle whether in the court
room, on the field, or in the streets.
So for those of us lacking resolve, getting off track,
slipping ... how can we create resolution in us?
I think the best method to initiate resolution in life is to
live with intent. Intentional living sets before you the actions, attitude, and
performance desired and needed for the next day. Intentional living involves
the practice of resolve and discipline to perform each day, as one must to
succeed at the stated intent.
Starting each day with intent, sets your day up
for success.
