Goals on the other hand take on some very powerful features. Well, maybe that's just me, but planning my goals with that vision sure revs me up. There are also some very logical, non-emotional reasons for goals. Goals are not black and white. Resolutions, on the other hand, take on the huge task of making a change in one bold move.
Goals are never static or polar.
They can be graduated to reach the heights, like a staircase. One step at a time. Goals create a process of illumination as you climb higher. No single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born.
