Do you think writing down your goals and resolutions isn’t important? Most people forget or give up on New Year’s resolutions within a few weeks. But if you write them down and tell others, your success rate will skyrocket!

Take this mundane example. Mike, a sedentary, sit-behind-a-desk-all-day kind of guy, was interviewed by an international magazine at the beginning of 1993. His goal, shared with the world, was to get back to running 10 miles a week. Would you believe that, 18 years later, he’s still at it?

Choose your goals carefully and realistically (Proverbs 4:26). But then write down and share them with others.
