“It’s not intentions that matter. It’s actions. We are what we do and say, not what we intend to.” ― Kristin Hannah

We all have the best intentions.

But when we pair them with the worst executions, the outcome isn't surprising. Just frustrating.

Would you like to cut off some of the frustration you typically encounter throughout the year? If so, you might want to stop and rethink your way of doing things.

Here's what most people do wrong when contemplating a significant change or life improvement. I mean, what most of us try at the beginning of a new year.

1. Looking forward instead of backward

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” — George Santayana

Most people leap into the new year with many resolutions and big plans.

They overlook the past and its lessons by focusing on their goals.

They fail to see what got in their way in the past year.
