A new year not only signifies a new beginning, but also another year God has blessed you to keep moving forward. As cliche as it may sound, a new year really is a new start – the perfect time to try again or try something new.
If you want something to change, the only real path forward is to focus on what you have control over.
The studies in our intro show that people tend to set the same goals over and over again
Let's open 2022 with less toxicity by leaving these bad habits behind.
A buddy can help make sticking to a resolution fun, but you can’t rely on your buddy to keep you motivated. If you’ll only stick with your resolution if she does, then what happens the second she feels unmotivated? So do you. What happens the day she wants to take a break? So do you. And you enable each other, handing each other excuses to quit, because you both want to. You rise together but you also die together just as quickly.
Like when someone cuts ahead of you in bumper-to-bumper traffic, because they just need to merge onto the freeway, or when the person in front of you at the pharmacy is asking too many questions and holding up the line. Keep your cool. Smile. The world needs less people rolling their eyes and shaking their fists at each other and more people sharing a smile.
