"This year, I am hitting the gym, I am not going to quit."

"No more donuts."

"I'm going to stop spending my money on stuff I don't need."

Sorry to break it to you, you are probably going to stop working out by February and who in their right mind gives up donuts? While we're being honest, you won't quit buying pointless junk either. So make your resolution something that will make you a better you.

Be the person you wish to be in the world. The change starts with the person that is in the mirror. The possibilities are endless. Something that seems pointless to you can make a huge change in someone else's life.

A couple hours of your time each week will turn into a life time of memories and gratitude. Food pantries and soup kitchens can always use a hand in passing out everything. Not only are they rewarding in the community service aspect but you see someone who is genuinely happy with what they receive. The people there are some of the most caring and friendliest you will encounter. The local YMCA has sports teams who may be lacking a coach, and you can be the one to help take some child off the streets and spark his passion for a sport that can possibly change his life.

The list is endless with the amount of places you can give your time to. Instead of watching TV everyday all day, go out and become a better you.
