I noticed your words: "An addiction sometimes appear impossible to break not because it is as gargantuan as we make it to be, but because we focus so hard on it that we forget to forget it."

This is true, I think ♦♦ And i appreciated these words - will NOW BEAR them in mind (ha .. whoops, I have to ACTUALLY FORGET ).

And I certainly believe - Peeps, that it IS a Better idea to Build on those goals that you achieved..

And a #TOOL that I use is called Goal-buddy.com ♦♦ It lets one get very detailed (& organized) on a Goal, whether that #goal happens to LAST for months, or years.

First, one describes (lists out) what you want to achieve -- and You decide IF It is a "Top Goal' for the year ♦♦ Next, a person determines how achieving said GOAL will Change one's Life/ When Accomplishing The Goal.

POINT: as u say, "if a goal isn't money related, or for the improvement of one's personality.. one could well wind up breaking it" ==> Here's a GOOD #BOOK to use (to Understand what makes a person tick ) - the book "Finding Your Own NORTH STAR" can HELP !

Do the EXERCISES in the Book (You'll do better in 2018 w/ Your goals & Self improvemt )
