I love the acerbic wit of Mr Mann.

He nails it though.

Care more.

That might be our problem.

And by ‘our’, I mean ‘my’. But it makes me feel better to lump everyone else in with me, so deal with it.

We often toss out resolutions with the best of intentions. The problem is this unspoken and unconscious expectation that someone or something will magically show up and keep us on-task. That doesn’t happen and the resolution gets flushed just like Mr Mann’s goldfish. We might feel bad for a brief moment. But hey…no external influence or consequence means no motivation for compliance.

I wonder if the solution is for us to care more. The problem there is that it requires us to work harder. Our motivation has to come from within. You know…discipline …things like that.

Maybe that’s why resolutions don’t often ‘stick’.

I have a hunch that caring more might help our situation.
