Inspiring post #4

John Lennon Happy Christmas. "So this is Xmas And what have you done Another year over And a new one just begun" We always make New years resolutions......generally people try to change and be better.  Staying accountable is the difficult part. Staying motivated to keep up with goals even when times are tough. No matter who we have to inspire us every once in awhile we get discouraged. Its hard to remember being better takes time.

We can provide them with materials to succeed, however, if they don't try and use the knowledge that's inside them they will remain where they are. Success is what happens when we answer the difficult questions, the ones that we might not think about. I learned that life truly becomes easier when you have people around to make it more positive. With all this knowled...
