Sydney, Australia 2017

In January 2017 things will immediately happen: Millions of body fat will be lost the first day. Millions of cigarettes will remain on store selves unsold. Millions of dollars or euros will land in charitable charities. Millions of people will be nicer to family, neighbors, and co-workers on January 2nd.

The numbers are staggering. Just imagine if these good actions continued throughout 2017. But, human nature being what it is, we know that they will not last. Too much of the spirit of cranky Ebenezer Scrooge lives in us, and we say "Humbug," and make no ill fated resolutions for the coming year.

But suppose we could make just one good (only one) life changing resolution and stick to it for 365 days. Would it not be worth it? If so, why not do it?

When people complain that they do not have time to do things, what they are saying is that they are giving their time to the things they want to do. Let's look at just one example: The average American looks at four hours of television a day. If one reduced his viewing to three hours a day, that woul give him an extra 365 hours which equals 45 eight-hour work days! That is more weeks than most people get for annual vacation.

In 2017 why not pick just one thing that you can start or stop doing that will improved your life and make it a Happy New Year all year?
