Choose something that you enjoy

Choosing the right thing is half the battle won. If you think you can get bored in the gym, you can enroll for a dance session or opt for sports like swimming and tennis .

Get yourself a partner

A good way to ensure that you follow your resolution is to find a like-minded partner. This will ensure you have company and also someone would be there to motivate you to keep it going. I needed to discipline myself, to attend the follow-ups for the Art Of Living meditation course that I had attended

Find alternatives

If, on a given day you cannot stick to your schedule, it makes sense to keep a backup plan ready. For instance, if on a given day you cannot watch what you are eating and have resolved to eat right maybe you can have a lighter dinner or decide not to use your elevator that day. This will certainly make you feel good and healthier.

Reward yourself

Celebrating small successes is the only way in which you can motivate yourself to stick to your resolution.

Be positive

Being positive and having faith in yourself is also an important factor that can keep you going. Having confidence that you will be able to reap the benefits of your resolution will definitely help you in times of distress.

Why do people fail after getting success? This is the biggest concern of every successful individual, the fear of losing the success.

One of the biggest reason that the success doesn’t last long is, “People strive for success”. If you strive for success it won’t last long, on the other hand if you keep on striving for EXCELLENCE, success will follow.

In the movie, 3 Idiots, Aamir Khan, always keeps on telling Madhvan and Sharman to strive for Excellence and not for success. The movie very well depicts what happens, when you strive for success and when you strive for excellence.

Aamir Khan, has stressed on choosing a profession, in which you have passion. If you don’t have passion for what you are doing, you cannot excel. You may get success but this success doesn’t last longs. And this is where most of the people suffer. Many of the people choose profession just because somebody, most probably their parents, wants them to go in that profession. But this is not right.

If you choose a profession in which you have the passion, you will have fun, you will enjoy working, you will strive for excellence, you’ll be happy and this is what real success is.

So don’t run behind success, run behind excellence and success will run behind you
