2020: The Magic Elixir?

I have mixed feelings about the pomp and circumstance surrounding the new year. Don’t get me wrong, I love a cause for celebration and reflection, the opportunity to buy a new planner, a reason to commit to making all of my dreamy dreams come true.

this article suggests picking a word instead of a specific resolution.
I will remember it is only me that can bring about change.
I will practice graceful and fast recovery.
I will prioritize long-term gain over short-term comfort.
I will create small, attainable goals that build momentum to achieving larger ones.
