Instead of focusing on classic New Year's Resolutions:

• Exercise more, or start to exercise
• Lose Weight
• Stop smoking, drink less alcohol, drink more water
• Get organized
• Find more time for family and yourself, etc.

How about looking at 2018 as being the year of moving forward and making the kind of changes that stick forever?
 
Change your thinking in order to invest your time and energy to grow and develop yourself. Have a major impact on your home life as well as your professional life, no matter what your position is -- boss, leader or team member -- with some personal development.
 
Many of your desired 'resolutions' will be resolved with this approach.

Good advice from Laura Berman Fortgang

I have no tax advice for you. Nothing you should do to your lawn before the next season hits. Nor do I have anything to say about your frequent flier miles or doctor visits and insurance deductibles.

People behave within the limits of their own growth and experience. Forgive and move on.
Do it for yourself, not for them. ...Click 'Read More' for the other two things...

These are the five rules I saw posted in a family friend’s house for their three young boys (age 5 and under), who are quite energetic:

• Be kind to each other
• Listen to the grown-up in charge
• No hitting, kicking, or throwing
• Say please and thank you
• Don’t grab things from others

In today’s increasingly toxic political and social environment, where personal insults and character assassination often seem to win out over intelligent discussion, sharing of ideas, and compromise, there was something about the common-sense wisdom in these simple rules that I found deeply appealing.  Click below to read more...
