"Everything that I've read in recent years suggests that people are generally giving up on making New Year resolutions. I'm not surprised, folks are 'busy'. A long list of things that you feel you should 'change' about yourself can be daunting and overwhelming. Tiring, in fact. It's a tired idea. If it worked people would still be making and keeping their resolutions.
I'm not advocating that folks give up on self improvement. Actually, just the opposite. I believe a person will achieve more if he/she is focused on making just one improvement at a time. Or learning just one new thing. Or taking on just one new hobby. You get the gist. Typically the act of 'change', developing a new 'habit', or 'achieving a cherished dream' isn't something that happens overnight. It takes time and hard work. Days, months, sometimes years, but if it's something you truly want to achieve, you make the time, do the work."
