It's a bit hard for me to get behind the idea of steadfast New Year's Resolutions. Often times it's setting yourself up for failure. If you eat that hamburger, you've just broken your rule of eating healthy. You cussed at the driver in front of you and thrown that resolution out the window along with a few choice swear words. On the other hand, there are those who refuse to make any changes whatsoever. But New Year doesn't necessarily mean new you. It just offers an opportunity to be a better you. I'd rather set goals. Things that I want to do, be, see. Perhaps some are easily checked off the list. Others may have more intrinsic rewards. But all of them work to do one thing: create a better me.
