In January 2013 I remember resolving to accomplish a particular business transaction before the end of the year.  Although I did not get to the end, I was painfully close.  When I peered toward the end of the year, December 31 seemed a long way off.  But it seemed to have arrived faster than I imagined.

This was a stirring reminder not to take time for granted.  The goals to which we clutch so dearly, yet seem such a long way off, are connected by our everyday tasks.  We must not neglect them.

The trick to a new year is hardly ever the energy that comes with a fresh start, but the will to continue forward motion as it progresses.  When tiredness or frustration appears, you must find a way to maintain the momentum.  When you fall, it is imperative that you get up again quickly and continue pressing.

May you accomplish that which you set out to this year and more!
