Research shows that 44% of American adults made some sort of New Years Resolutions in hopes of bringing about change in their life. I am apart of that 44%. The same research suggests that only 8% of those who make resolutions will actually accomplish these resolutions. I am not apart of that 8%...for the most part. Some of the goals I've set for this year I am struggling with and others I have already waved the flag of defeat. I don't think many would argue these numbers. We all have experienced the desire for change only to find our motivations waning months, weeks, even days later.

There is a hopeful allure about the start of a new year.
