KEEPING RESOLUTIONS
A recent article from Forbes mad these points regarding 2023 resolutions;
• 37% of Americans had a resolution they wanted to achieve
• 48% listed fitness as their primary goal
• 87% said were very or somewhat likely to keep their “promise”
• The second Friday in January is designated as “Quitter’s Day”
• Only 8% of the people stick to their resolution by the end of January

Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the gate, and call: if anyone hears my voice and opens the gate, I will come in to them, and will dine with them, and they will dine with me.”

Things don’t look good for New Years resolutions. Maybe the focus it wrong since these “promises” are intended to last one year. Maybe that is why 92% fall short in the first month. A better focus for your resolutions are not for a year, but for your life. And an urgent method to help anyone to control their success in achieving their goals, it to understand Fences, Gates, and Keys.
