New year dreams. A second chance. The old calendar is ripped down and the new one's slapped up. In this annual ritual comes a pause in the rhythm of life - a chance to reflect on the past and resolve for the future. And that's good real good.
Life's just too fast to take stock.
So, instead we lock and block issues, trends, and directions from our daily survey. I don't put a whole lot of hope in the New Year magic. Oh, I like the clean slate, let s start a new page feeling , but I also realize that resolutions, intentions, goals, disciplines, or whatever else you care to name it, doesn't wear well. The problem with resolutions, intentions or discipline is that they require effort. No one likes change, even if it's passive.
