At the start of a new year, we all set goals—
things we need to do, things we want to do, and even things we hope to stop doing.
At the center of every goal is ourselves.
But once we begin to follow through,
other people or unexpected circumstances
can make us want to give up.
In those moments, pause and turn your focus back to yourself,
just as you did when you first set your goals.
Acknowledge your imperfections
and offer yourself the encouragement you need to keep going.
The support of the person closest to you—yourself—
can lead you to the change you’ve been dreaming of.
