A Two Word New Year's Resolution

I Can While in general I am not a big promoter of New Year's resolutions, cause most people break them, and then you feel WORSE, a two word one I like is:

I CAN.

I have promoted liberal use of the word NO in your life to cut through to your priorities. That would be like saying I WON'T. But cutting the I CAN'T phrase to I CAN, is a big time YES inside your mind and helps your will and determination.

Our biggest barrier in setting yourself off into new directions (in a new year or ANYTIME) is to get rid of that NO in your head that says it just can't be. Impossible to POSSIBLE.

Work on many reminders with what you do in 2015, with a big I CAN. It will make things happen. HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!

Happy New Year Gary!

I have not made out a personal New Years resolution list. It has never worked for me personally. I like to take life one day at a time. John on the other hand thinks he has to have a list.
