It’s late December, and my friend Dave—a man whose physical condition can best be described as “soft-ripened Brie”—announced his resolution: He was going to run a marathon by June.
Now, Dave hasn't run since a misunderstanding with a territorial goose in 2014, but he was committed. He spent $400 on "kinetic" leggings that look like they were stolen from a TRON extra and bought shoes with enough foam to stabilize a falling skyscraper.
By January 3rd, the "New Year, New Dave" campaign was in full swing. I saw him at the park, looking like a neon highlighter, doing what he called "dynamic stretching," which mostly looked like he was trying to shake a spider out of his pants.
"How’s the training, Dave?" I asked, dropping by his place on January 10th.
I found him in his living room, still wearing the high-tech kinetic leggings, but he was lying perfectly still on the floor, staring at the ceiling.
"I’ve had a breakthrough," he whispered, not moving a muscle. "I realized that the 'New Year, New Me' philosophy is fundamentally flawed."
I looked at the treadmill in the corner, which was currently being used as a very expensive rack for a wet bath towel. "Did you hurt yourself?"
"No," Dave said solemnly. "I reached mile two yesterday and had a vision. I realized that my resolution was based on the idea that I needed to be faster. But speed is relative. If I’m running a ten-minute mile, I’m fast to a turtle, but I’m a stationary object to a cheetah."
"Okay... so you're giving up because of cheetahs?"
"No," he said, finally sitting up and reaching for a slice of cold pizza. "I’ve decided to pivot. I’m no longer training for a marathon. I’ve realized that my true calling is 'Active Recovery.' I’ve spent the last four days recovering from a run I haven't even finished yet. The discipline required to rest this hard is actually much more grueling than the jogging itself. I'm not a quitter, I'm just an elite-level lounger."
A New Year is a fresh start — success comes from clarity, consistency, and commitment.
New Year’s Resolutions — Key Facts
• Approximately 40–45% of adults make at least one New Year’s resolution.
• Only about 8–10% of people fully achieve their resolutions.
• Most resolutions are abandoned by mid-January, often referred to as “Quitter’s Day.”
• Health-related goals—exercise, weight loss, and healthier eating—remain the most common.
• Writing goals down can increase the likelihood of success by up to 40%.
• People who set specific, measurable goals are significantly more likely to succeed.
• Career-focused resolutions, including job changes and skill development, peak in January and February.
• Resolutions framed as identity-based habits last longer than those focused solely on outcomes.
The takeaway?
Success doesn’t come from grand promises—it comes from clarity, consistency, and commitment. Set goals you can measure, build habits you can sustain, and make 2026 the year progress becomes permanent.
