New Year’s resolutions are superficial wish lists, not commitments. In this episode of the Manly Deeds Podcast, we kick off the year by breaking down why New Year’s resolutions don’t work, why most people quit before February, and what actually creates lasting change. We get into: • Why goals beat resolutions every time • The real difference between motivation and discipline • Why “giving yourself grace” can actually hold you back • How small wins build real momentum • Why failure isn’t failure, it’s feedback • And how to reset without quitting when you fall off Plus, we introduce a new segment called Truth or Cap where we debate some real-life statements most people can't agree on. If you’ve ever fallen off your goals, struggled to stay consistent, or felt stuck waiting to “feel motivated,” this episode is for you. 00:00:00 – Back in the Cave 00:03:00 – New Year’s Resolutions Are A Waste Of Time 00:06:15 – Resolutions vs Goals: What’s the Difference? 00:10:00 – Why Most People Quit Before February 00:14:00 – Setting Real Goals (Life, Marriage, Money) 00:18:00 – Why Men Avoid Planning & Fear Failing 00:21:00 – Small Wins vs Big Wins 00:24:00 – Failure Is Feedback, Not Defeat 00:27:00 – Motivation vs Discipline (Which Actually Works?) 00:31:00 – Falling Off Doesn’t Mean Quit! 00:35:00 – Grace vs Standards (Hard Truths) 00:42:00 – Are You Showing Up or Just Checking the Box? 00:48:00 – TRUTH or CAP??!! 00:55:00 – Final Takeaways & Closing Thoughts!
