Resolutions worth fighting for

I enjoy my daily morsel from Copyblogger. The site is a consistently solid resource that can help develop your writing whether you're a sage scribe or an aspiring blogger.

What I found most inspiring about the linked post above is the idea of fighting for your ideas. The hard part of that premise is understanding which ideas are truly worth fighting for.

As you look towards next year and put together your list of resolutions, try not to be so customary. Be selective and only list goals that really are worth the sacrifice. If improving your work situation is a goal, are you prepared to make the necessary sacrifices? Work more hours, look for employment elsewhere, let an employee go, give someone another chance, fire a client? Is your goal worth that kind of sacrifice? Does the end justify the means?

Goals worth achieving involve sacrifice. Great achievers understand the sacrifice that's required before the set their goal, and believe it's truly worth fighting for.

Think hard about what's important to you for next year, what's worth fighting for, and understand what will be required to get you there. I guarantee you'll be more likely to get where you really want to go.
