What's the hardest part of setting goals and self improvement for you? ANd WHY!?
If you know that such steps will make things better, what ways do you sabotage your own success? What are some strategies you use to succeed?
For me, a lot of it has to do with the fact that:
1. I don't know what I want.
2. I don't understand reality and what is really required in the problem.
3. I don't know how to take abstract general principles of "goodness" (for lack of a better word) and apply them to actual steps that affect change.
4. Distractions and new opportunities... no followthrough...
5. My character as a fundamentally lazy person... (Fallen man)
6. My fear that I want the wrong things, or that the choice isn't right, leads me to do nothing.
What are your challenges in this regard, and how do you overcome any of the above? Do you have a plan or are you just sorta winging it? Are there weaknesses more dire that you're just stuck in? Or are you busy enjoying what little prosperity you can get now, to heck with the future?
Whaddya say?

I don't set goals or new years resolutions. Sets you up for failure and failure hurts my self esteem which would be wrong because everyone deserves to be a winner and feel good about their efforts!
