I resolve to … do.

New Year’s resolutions don’t seem to work for me. I’ll venture to say they don’t work for a lot of people. That’s why gym memberships spike during January then fall off sharply after that. Good intentions only take me so far. It’s the “doing” that keeps me doing it. With resolutions, it’s easy to get a little too specific. And with specifics come excuses because resolutions, many times, are over-ambitious or unrealistic. So, my simple resolution is to keep doing whatever it is that inspires me, makes me feel good moves me forward, and to help others do the same. Doing is what makes things happen and for better or worse, things get done.
