Resolutions are for ninny muggins

December 27th, 2011

Our family just got done watching “Elf” the Will Farrell movie
where he grows up in the North Pole but nobody tells him he’s
a human, not an elf.

When he finally decides to leave the North Pole to mix with the
humans he is obviously way out of his element, and definitely very
naïve to the ways of the world.

At one point in the movie, he remembers back in the old days
when somebody insulted him, and they called him a “cotton
headed ninny muggins”.

Not sure what that word means, but it sounds pretty mean for an elf.

This time of year a lot of people always talk about new years
resolutions, and I think that they’re ridiculous.  If you’ve ever
been a “gym rat”, then you know exactly what I’m talking about.

Back in my gym rat days, I noticed in late December, you’re in the
gym working out and the place is practically empty.  Everyone is
either fattening up on food or off on vacation somewhere.

Then the bell rings and January 1st comes along and the place is
packed.  You’re waiting for machines, you’re waiting for a pad to
do some situps on…the list goes on.

This is just one example.  But as far as I’m concerned, resolutions
are for ninny muggins.

Here’s why.  A resolution doesn’t have any power behind it.
A resolution is almost like a passive “man, I wish I could
accomplish that…sigh.”

The proof of this is in the pudding – how many people do you know
who actually kept their resolutions?  That’s what I thought.

That’s why the gym is empty come next December.

So I say toss out the resolutions.  Be done with the way of the
ninny muggins.

Set GOALS.

Real Goals.  Something that you can measure and that can excite
and charge you up.

Be careful to make them realistic.  But don’t be afraid to stretch
either.

Goals excite you.  Goals charge you up.  Goals can be imported
into your brain as future memories so that you are moving towards
them even when you sleep.

Goals are truly powerful and are what seperates champions from also
rans.  Resolutions are for the ninny muggins of the world.

Goals are for the winners, and that’s why you’re here.

Be a winner in 2012.  This will get you there faster:

PS – The fastest way to be a champion in 2012 is to set a powerful
goal and then get moving towards your goal.  When you surround
yourself with positive, expert support you get there much faster:

PPS – The reason why champion athletes have personal trainers
is because they achieve more faster and then they win big.
If you’re serious about knocking 2012 out of the park then
