2014-12-31 - A work in progress

I'm a fan of New Year's resolutions, regardless of the stories of failure, sometimes just a week or two into January. Change does not come easily but does not come at all without effort. We can all come up with a list of bad habits, poor health and diet choices to resolve to work on ... And then there're those darn virtues that will make us a better person ...

Discipline enables a person to achieve the goal of running a 26.2-mile race or running 20 miles a week ...
Kindness towards someone who is having a bad day can make him or her smile and build rapport.
Creativity can result in an idea that changes how people relate to one another such as social media.
Trust in a relationship fosters dependability and intimacy, creating valuable, meaningful relationships.
Gratitude in a job loss can shift our focus from feeling low to how we can have a new, more fulfilling career.
Service to others can change lives, better neighborhoods and create stronger nations.

Let's make a commitment to ourselves and have the courage to start. Yes, we might fail but yes, we might change.

I'd love for you to share your one most realistic resolution with me, perhaps just writing it down and knowing someone else will read your resolution will add the motivation needed to make you a success. I'll post a link to the list in a future midweek of your resolutions and we can motivate each other to greatness. Email This email address is being protected from spambots.

Just do it,
