Win the Day

As I write this, it is January 1st.  It's the first day of the new year.  This is a day of new beginnings.  It is a day that gets people thinking about change.   I went to the gym this afternoon for my normal exercise session.  There were a number of new people there that I haven't seen before.  I think this will become the new normal...at least for a month or so.  New Year's resolutions abound.  Promises are made.  Commitments are revealed.  The start of a new year is a great time to re-evaluate where you are personally and professionally.  There is no magic to a new year but the perception exists that wonderful things can be accomplished and that we have a clean slate.  It is always good to make long term plans and seek to improve our lives.  However, I think New Year's resolutions can sometimes be a little daunting.  New beginnings are great but what if our goals are rather large?
