Why wait until the new year to make changes? Why not start now? Life is short. Come up with a plan. Write down your goals. Focus on the actions that will lead you to your goal. Small changes over time will help you build up. Eliminate excuses. Tackle your fears. Change your thinking. Overcome obstacles. It sounds simple. Yes it is simple. It is not easy. There will be frustration and many more obstacles to overcome. The pain of regret can be more painful than the pain of changing your ways.
