Do New Year's Resolutions Work?

Benjamin Smith

Dec 31

I'd say it really depends on the individual and that individual's circumstances. It's easier for some than for others, due to a strong sense of discipline or maybe a household and work life that isn't as chaotic as others. Some set a really high bar, one that's unattainable and leads to discouragement and abandonment once enough failures pile up. I know that last bit applies to me, at the beginning of a new year and throughout. Enough setbacks hit me, and I just want to crawl into a hole and be done with it all.

But we'll never change things for the better that way! So, I'd love comments from people as to what has worked for them in the past, as well as what hasn't. What did you learn from the successes and failures you've made when trying to change a habit, or make a lifestyle or career change? For me, it's all about setting little goals each day, while keeping the big goals in mind. I've found over the years that I'm somewhat progress-oriented, so if I'm not seeing some kind of tangible evidence of forward movement each day or each week, the discouragement and negative voices start to creep in. Beating those daily goals helps to slay the dragon, or at least keep it asleep.

Let's work hard in the next year together, and slay those dragons! Better yet, let's start today!

The Next Kildash Book Releases Today!

Looking for your next fantasy-with-a-science-fiction-twist? Look no further than the Kildash series, an ever-growing series of books by Lee Ellis. The first four books are already out, with the fifth releasing today! The Second Ridding - Part 1 is here and ready for your reading pleasure, with Part 2 due to release April 30th, 2024.

The Red Queen has amassed the largest army since the rule of Kaleeshni, all of its military might bent on vengeance. A dark sorcerer poses as Dune Halzibar, spreading his empire across the void. Beyond the Weeping Sea, goblins fight for stack of a new planet colonized by mages. Thuzans pay tribute to a fallen monk, and with them come gospels of violence.

Turmoil disrupts the Murai as the ronin urges for unity, and the Queen of Tuegal plays a deadly game with allies and enemies. Mercenaries strike in the night as war dissolves ancient boarders, an alchemist brews his masterpiece, and the Second Ridding begins.

(Part I: The Woman in Black)
