Surveys tell us that that 60-80% of New Year’s Resolutions are broken in the first two weeks. This information is not encouraging and, of course, it may not refer to you. However, resolutions don’t seem to work that well. What does work well are clearly defined goals with a plan of action.

The year is about to close and it’s only natural for us to begin reflecting on how the past year really shaped up. No matter how much or little success you experienced during the past 12 months, think about these questions: “Was my year all that I planned it to be? Did I really achieve ALL my goals? What can I do differently to make this year even better? ” How can I crash through my barriers with a firm intention that will carry me to what I really want and still enjoy the trip? Questions like these fuel your momentum for success and ensure that your mental state is where it needs to be for maximum results.

Start fresh by setting new goals and making changes to improve virtually every area of your life. For you to succeed think about the closed doors or barriers that seem to prevent your success. Perhaps these doors are not really locked. Perhaps all they need is a different approach.

Harry Houdini traveled the world having local jailers lock him in a cell. He would invite the press, demonstrate his feats, and they would write great things about him. He was a rousing success until he got to one town in Ireland. As hours passed he could not escape. The crowd left ridiculing him and called his “act” a hoax.

When a dejected Harry asked to be released, the jailer gently pressed against the door, which easily opened. It seemed it was never locked. Every time Houdini went to unlock the cell, he locked himself in.

Do you have a Houdini door in your life? When you are totally committed to your dream, a dream that will improve the quality of your life, the doors that seem to be blocking you will swing open and you will find yourself living the life you have always wanted.

“Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream so shall you
become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall
one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you
shall at last unveil.”
