New Year...New Goals.

We are two weeks into 2013 and I have been very busy. I have some pretty significant events occurring in my life in 2013 and I have been spending a lot of time getting ready. I am looking forward to the opportunities, but know there will be challenges ahead.

As I think of the new year, I think about the tradition of making resolutions. The idea of making and breaking resolutions has become a bit of a joke in our day and age, and it probably makes a lot of people not make any resolutions. However, a study by the University of Scranton published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology found that people who explicitly state their resolutions are 10 times more likely to meet their goals than people who don't explicitly state their resolutions. That's huge! If we don't know where we are going, it is unlikely we will ever get there.
