Got this note from a reader named Cindy đđđ
“Years ago, I got smart enough to start picking just one NYâs resolution like this to work on implementing over the year. A couple of the first of these new resolutions were replacing âhave toâ with âget toâ and âshouldâ with âwillâ (oh, the years I wasted causing myself so much stress by procrastinating! âč).
No more long lists of âfaultsâ to fix; no self-judgement or harsh guilt if there were no major life changesâextended effort is the only requirement for my version of âsuccess.â What a difference this made in my life!
Funny thingâsince making these changes in attitude, my resolutions have actually been easier to stick to and have resulted in the incremental self-improvements needed for long-term major life changes. I think thatâs the kicker in so many areasâsmall changes making huge improvements over time; we are just such a NOW society that itâs hard to wait for it.”

Food for thought for any of you dudes pondering new years resolutions. Don’t overcomplicate it!
Make it a great day, a fun night… catch you all next year đ„
