I'm not one for New Year's resolutions. It's not that I don't believe in bettering oneself, it's just that I believe the time to make a change is when you know there is a problem. That moment can come January 1st or first thing in the morning, but it can also come at 2 o'clock on any random Tuesday. making a change is a big deal, it's a commitment and it comes in response to a life of one always seeking to be the best person possible.
Change involves a plan and too often people just jump on the January bandwagon of new path and it's not too long until they've been booted off by some bump in the road. Seeing a problem only gets the ball rolling. Routing your journey is essential in road trips and in life. Knowing yourself and figuring out what works for you gives you a better shot at success.
Change involves accountability and that involves community. Too often we run out on our own in hot pursuit of the preverbal carrot missing the mark because we didn't involve our support network. We were made for relationships and the teen years alone demonstrate how the right or wrong people can motivate our choices.
So maybe that ball dropped and as you said, "Happy New Year," you realized you needed something to change, or maybe you are like me and you had a good night and just continued the course.
