Having a talent is great... Being disciplined is awesome... Having both is a winning combo, but like you said in the post, it happens very rarely, and to a few... Should the rest give up? Of course not... We have to nurture and train our discipline, or if you like it better, consistency, perseverance, stubbornness... Different words, the same purpose and goal...
Just one more thing... While I was reading your post, I was expecting that you would go back to the past year with December 31st... If we put a label to January 1st as a day to create new resolutions, we should label December 31st as the day when we should reflect on the year and be grateful for everything that happened... Sometimes it's good to remind ourselves about the GOOD things that happened as we tend to forget them...
I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project which will be highlighted in the next post!

The post is completely against the idea of giving one single day so much power, be it for making a resolution or anything else. It should be given to every single day since they are all just as valuable. The same for the good things too. Every day should be taken as a chance to revisit and appreciate the good things. Why just one single day? it takes away value from all the other days.
That is what I was getting at. When so many resolutions are made, there is hardly a majority of them being actualised. If all the people who decided to hit the gym on jan 1st would continue coming, they'd also reach the goal eventually. That is why resolutions do not make sense without dedication or discipline.
