Why Do Resolutions Not Succeed ?

We know many things that are good to do, yet we don't follow through. Some of these we intend to do and decide on, but we fail to implement them. A New Year resolution is just like one of these. Resolvers often can’t stick with their resolutions even for three months. But you're not the only one who couldn’t achieve your New Year resolution. In fact, it is said that more than 80% of people end up breaking their self-set goals. Interestingly, most people's resolutions fail by the end of the second month.

This often happens because we set unrealistic goals or don't break them down into manageable steps. Without clear strategies or consistent effort, it’s easy to lose motivation. Additionally, life’s distractions and challenges can make it difficult to stay committed. However, the key to success is not giving up but learning from setbacks and adjusting your approach. Small, achievable steps can lead to lasting change, and persistence is what truly helps people succeed in the long run.
