Keeping New Years Goals

A few weeks ago, I talked about my New Years Resolutions. Apparently, most people fail theirs within the first 2 weeks of January, and I have to admit, that does sound likely to be true. A few days ago, I was definitely questioning myself on some of the goals I set myself. In fact, I...
