Well Christmas has come and gone and now we are left with 2017 looking straight at our eyes. That leaves us with the question, "What am I going to do new this year"?

Whether that question ends with weight loss, financial prosperity, or maybe something that involves relationships, it all comes down to what we are willing to do for ourselves.

Yes! That's right! The 'something new' also starts with you. You have to decide what exactly you want to change. For example, if you are looking to receive that promotion, then maybe you might want to start with listing some areas where your job is having trouble in and try to bring productivity to those specific areas. The promotion will never happen if you don't first start with you taking initiative.

One of the best reasons why you should crave to do something new is the New Year. You have a whole new year to accomplish something that you have always dreams of doing. So maybe you already got the promotion and you want to vacation to a place you have never been before. Well then you will have to first budget your finances to know exactly how much you have to spent on vacationing.

But you see, if anything is going to happen, then you have to initiate what specifically you want to have accomplished. Then the date you intend to accomplish it by.

By doing so, all you will have to do is rely on your determination to keep your New Years Resolution alive. This maybe be the hardest part; however, the results will be all worth it.

For instance, I intend to try and shake this dad bod I seem to be developing. After all the candy for Halloween, stuffing from Thanksgiving, and the carbs from Christmas dinner, its safe to say I need to shed a few pounds. Yet the first thing I have done is set a weight where I want to be.

Next I will set a date where I intend to accomplish my goal. I know that millions of other around the world have the same resolution, but will they achieve their goal? I don't know. All I know is that if I want to achieve my own goal, I will have to develop the self discipline to stop eating sweets and start hitting the overcrowded gym.

I know it won't be easy, but at least I have initiated the start of my goal by knowing what weight I want to be at. Like they say, It takes a lot more momentum moving the boulder than it does keeping it going. You CAN do anything your mind sets out to accomplish: however, it all starts with a definite plan and a deadline.

What do you say? Will 2017 be your year, or will we just have to see to you will claim 2018 'your' year? Good luck on finishing your resolutions. YOU GOT THIS!
