Every year, we make a predictable and well-intentioned list of New Years Resolutions.

Theres nothing wrong with committing to self-improvement.

Some years, we truly make those steady, consistent changes that lead to better places.

But we also know all too well what typically happens to our resolutions.

By February 1st, theyre often forgotten.

Life carries on as usualuntil the next New Years when the cycle starts again.

This year, lets break the cycle.

Lets realize that most resolutions dont require 365 days of work.

They often just need one dayone hour, or even just one momentof courage.

The sixty seconds it takes to quit the job that doesnt serve you.

The ten seconds it takes to share your feelings with someone you want to spend your year with.

The brief moment it takes to click purchase on those plane tickets youve been dreaming about.

We like to imagine that change takes a full year, but so often, it doesnt.

This year, I hope you go for itwhatever it is for you.

I hope this is the year you let go of the limits youve placed on yourself.

I hope its the year you break the rules you thought you had to follow.

How different everything feels because of the bold choices you made.

Not because you stuck to a strict routine, but because you took action.

This year, I hope you embrace the life youd live if fear werent a factor.

Thats your real dream, and its waited long enough.

This year, let it wait no longer.

Let this be the year you go for it.

And after that, no year will ever look the same again.
