New Year's resolutions always get me. I understand why people do them... "New year, new me!! Wheeee!" But why does it have to be a New Year's event? If you really want to change something about yourself or your life, then just do it! Right now, today! Start doing whatever you need to to get to the person you want to be, and then stick with it. You don't have to wait for the ball to drop on New Year's to make it any more special.
I wish people could be more accountable, myself especially. We all mess up, do things we may even regret. That's alright, that's human. What's not right is when we make excuses for ourselves. Why can't we just step back and say, "Okay, I know I shouldn't have done that, but now I'm going to take steps to make sure it doesn't happen again." And it very well could happen again, but hey, at least you're trying.
Yes, certain events could lead you to do certain things, but bottom line is we always have a choice. A choice to say no. A choice to decide that you're not going to be that person.
A choice to be happy.
And probably the most important: a choice to say sorry, forgive yourself for messing up, and move on.
