Top 10 for 2020

Around this time of the year many start thinking about their New Years resolutions. Truthfully, how often do those resolutions work out?  They sound good when we make them, and we have all kinds of resolve when we start them in January, but like a balloon, they soon seem to always lose their air. Then they go flat, and then they are discarded. Oh well, next year.

This year, why not change gears on this whole issue? Go big picture. When you start to think about some resolution you may wish to make, go deeper--beyond the resolution itself. Think in terms of what it is about you that might stop you from carrying out that resolution, and what has stopped you in the past. Then be very selfish. Address those stopping things with an "I Want to...."  Don't limit yourself. If you embrace the complete following list of Top 10 I Wants, chances are, you may find your resolve changes in a positive way. Be sure to include number 7.
