"The person who really wants to do something finds a way; the other finds an excuse." - Anonymous
This is the time of year where people think about what they want to do differently. It's a great concept to get in good physical shape, or to act more kindly, to get to bed on time, to stop smoking, to write or read more, to improve the lawn, to spend more time with family, to volunteer or donate more to charity.
Ultimately, it is worthwhile though? That seems to be the difference between a wish and a resolution.
Would things be significantly better if we carried twenty less pounds? If our bushes were more perfectly trimmed? If we traded in an hour of television for an hour with a child in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program? It we gave up a day's pay to buy a meal for a hungry person?
If we answer those questions "yes" with our actions rather than merely our mind, then we move toward real change.
