It seems like New Year's comes faster and faster every year, and as we prepare for 2018, we're all thinking about what needs to be accomplished in the new year. ln other words, we're all in the process of making a list of New Year's resolutions. Some of us hope to lose weight, some of us want to find love, and some of us want to adopt a puppy. The list goes on and on, and while the concept of New Year's resolutions is intriguing and compelling on the surface, it's important to remember that we have the opportunity to start fresh each and every day. It might sound cliche, but it's completely true.

Now, I'm not saying that you shouldn't make New Year's resolutions and look forward to what the new year will bring, but don't forget that you can change anything about yourself or your situation at any time. Maybe the new year is a starting point, but don't let it be the only point. In my opinion, there's no expiration date on a New Year's resolution. Take charge of your life in every moment, and don't wait around for something to happen. Make it happen.

I know, I know. You hear these things all of the time, and maybe I'm beginning to sound like a self-help book, but once we all realize that we have the power to better ourselves, we're unstoppable. So, my piece of advice to you is to take the new year in stride; don't give up on your resolutions come February or April or even September because it's never too late to reach a goal.
