Featured Article Refresh Your Resolutions By Renee Grant We re half way through the year. How are you doing on those New Year s resolutions? If you ve forgotten them by now, don t panic! Summer is the perfect time to give it another try. In just three simple steps, you can keep those promises you made to yourself at the beginning of the year. Thomas A. Edison said it best, Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. 1. Be true to yourself Did your New Year s resolution include pursuits of personal or financial growth? Perhaps the only obstacle stopping you from advancing is knowledge. Remind yourself what you wanted to do and why it was important. Make a list. Include the skills you need to achieve success. 2. Be open to new experiences and ideas Do you remember the rush of excitement the first time you rode your bike without training wheels? Although doing the same routine over and over again may be comfortable, the excitement and boost of confidence from learning something new can be the spark to ignite the fire of change and success. Did you resolve to write your memoirs or the great American novel? Was it a career change or promotion you resolved to seek? Seek out new experiences and opportunities to step outside your routine. Join a writing group. Ask for new assignments at the office. Enhance your skills to make yourself more marketable. 3. Don t wait While learning something new can give you that feeling of excitement and be a confidence booster, procrastination can have the opposite effect. Remember: Procrastination is the number one killer of success. UNF Division of Continuing Education many courses to help you reach your personal or professional resolutions. Use this summer to keep those promises you made to yourself. There is always time for growth. It s not too late. Write your novel. Enhance your career. Change jobs. Learn a new language.
