Resolutions and Reality
from Only Human – News, Analysis, and Insights from the World of Human Performance · host Dr. Tony Kern
In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Tony Kern explores the often-unspoken truth behind New Year’s resolutions: they rarely go according to plan and most die a quick death after just a few weeks. Instead of giving in and giving up, we dive deep into the power of persistence, self-compassion, and recalibration. Inspired by Stephen Covey’s idea of “beginning with the end in mind,” we’ll tackle the critical moments when resolutions falter—because those moments don’t signal the end of the journey. From setbacks to breakthroughs, we’ll explore how to redefine success, embrace the process, and learn from the times we almost give up. Join us as we explore the art of sticking with it—no matter the bumps along the way.
