"Sometimes we know the best thing to do, but fail to do it. New Year's resolutions are often like that. We make resolutions because we know it would be better for us to lose weight, or get fit, or spend more time with our children. The problem is that a resolution is generally easier to break than it is to keep." — Peter Singer
Resolutions can be so easily broken or forgotten. Instead of ticking off a whole litany of things you want to work on in the following year, pick one value, like friendship, or one attribute, such as courage, that you'd like to increase in your life. Jot down some concrete and specific actions you can take to add more of that good stuff to your life, and pencil tentative dates into your 2014 calendar to take those actions. Then find someone like a partner, friend or coach to hold you accountable.
