Doable and More Powerful Than a New Year's Resolution!


The good news:  75 percent of us will keep our resolutions through the whole first week of January.

The bad news:Only 8 percent of us will be successful in achieving what we set out to do! (University of Scranton Research) 

That's hard!  Sad!?

So, what's someone who wants to change something to do?  Somone wanting to change?
