The beginning of every year offers everyone a perfect opportunity to have a new resolution.

You then have the whole year to make it a reality. 

Most people come to realise by the end of the year that they haven't achieved what they had planned.

Here are three most probable reasons you have not achieved your 2018 resolutions:

 1. Lack of plan.

Having a resolution on paper is the easiest part, which most people do. 

What most don't do is having a plan on how to achieve them. 

A Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Reliable and Time-bound "SMART" plan will help you on the step to step process to achieve your resolutions. 

Lack of plan means you have to go about it blindly, and this can be a possible reason you got lost. 

Remember, failing to plan is planning to fail.

2. Lack of effort

Having a resolution and a plan alone is not enough. 

It's good to follow it up with the necessary actions and effort.

You need the right people around you, right motivation and self will to work through your plan. 

Being lazy may be part of the reasons you did not achieve what you desired. 

You can only achieve what you have worked for.

You need to put some efforts to achieve your goals.

3. Lack of prayer 

Well, this is directed to the believers.

 If you believe in God, you need to understand the power of prayers.

He gives you the life and the strength to work through your plan. 

It's not by your own power, but by God's grace and favour. 

If you relied on your own understanding and never put your resolution, plan and effort in prayers, that could be a reason you did not achieve them.
