Stirring Writer Jason T. Berggren Candidly Reveals 10 Things He Hates About New Year’s Resolutions

Jason
T. Berggren, an ex-pastor, former punk-rocker, and author of the book
10 Things I Hate About Christianity: Working Through the Frustrations
of Faith has written a poignant article entitled 10 Things I Hate About
New Year’s Resolutions. His hope is to help others prioritize and
accomplish their ever-important goals in the New Year.

Atlanta, GA (Vocus/PRWEB
) January 7, 2010 –- The New Year is a time for fresh perspectives and
new accomplishments. Many will set goals to lose weight, save money,
and invest more time with loved ones, among other things. But how to
achieve all these goals? That is at the center of a new article by
Jason T. Berggren, an ex-pastor, former punk-rocker, and author of the
book 10 Things I Hate About Christianity: Working Through the Frustrations of Faith, called 10 Things I Hate About New Year’s Resolutions. 

 He shares lessons from his failures and successes in order to help
others turn resolutions made into goals actually accomplished. He
tackles the areas he ‘hates’ with a mixture of humor and honesty,
relying heavily on his experience of writing his first book. Some of
these include momentum, doubt, failure, time, and money.

Berggren writes:

“Like everything else in life, it’s all about follow-through. That’s
why we have to make resolutions in the first place: we don’t get them
done. You may have noticed, but follow-through is not a common
character trait today. You’ll never get anything done if you don’t
actually do anything. I told people for a long time about the book I
was writing. Unfortunately, nothing was really getting done. I felt
like some longhaired kid wearing sandals and a tie-dyed t-shirt
smoking-out and driving around the country in a Volkswagen bus telling
people I was going to change the world… Dreamers dream. And doers do…”

Berggren also delineates between setting goals and building a
vision. It’s important to think beyond individual resolutions, he says.
He describes vision as a big-picture view of the future, which is made
up of a series of accomplished goals. Often the vision needs to evolve
as accomplished resolutions reveal new circumstances and challenges.

The burgeoning author takes the process to heart as he sets out to
write his second book this year, while balancing family and his
day-job. Once again, he seeks to realize this monumental task. The
vision of how to achieve this will, of course, involve several
resolutions made, followed by a string of benchmark goals accomplished.
Doers do, after all.
