I think that the most important part of setting off on any new venture is to begin with the end in mind. I know when I have tried to drop some pounds, saying that I am going to do it, and actually planning out how I am going to do it made all of the difference. The hard part is just sticking to it . . . at first, but it gets a lot easier. Even a change like giving up sodas can make a HUGE difference, it is surprising. Best of Luck!

I stumbled across your site a couple of weeks ago while looking for words of wisdom about vacation of all things. I've enjoyed roaming around. It's helped my mind-set tremendously as I've started this school year. It's always seemed unnatural to me to make resolutions in Jan each year - it's too late! For me, the year always ends with Back-to-School season and begins with the first week of school. What better time for "this year I'm gonna..." Thanks again for what you do Joel, Good series, uncomfortable reading in spots (owie, my toes!) but the kind that does good.

Thanks again for what you do

Why wait for January 1st to start a new resolution, after all? The best time is always now. Also, smart goal-setting is indeed the key to seeing them through; it's all about playing mind games with yourself, isn't it? Best of luck with your plan; keep us posted! -Greg Very good advice all around, Sir. Why wait for January 1st to start a new resolution, after all? The best time is always now.

I'm at a crossroads in my life right now. I'm asking questions like job or no job? Volunteer or not volunteer? Go to church or not go to church? Pursue a PhD or not? I had everything figured out until we moved to Texas. Teaching was my life and I had a great church. I've been here for two years still trying to make up my mind. It was so much easier when you had kids to raise.....it's time to try it all! What an inspiring entry. I’m at a crossroads in my life right now. I’m asking questions like job or no job?
