It is that time of year again for people to make unrealistic new years resolutions. Washington Post author, Wendy Wood, says that a lack of willpower is to blame for our bad habits. She also states that the best way to change a habit is to set realistic goals. I agree with this opinion because if you set realistic goals, you’re more likely to achieve and carry them out.

This affects me because I need to learn how to make realistic goals that i can achieve. For example, I set a goal to be on varsity in volleyball, but I should only work to be the best I can. This also affects the world because if people make more realistic goals they would not be so insecure about themselves and how they look.
