The new year is a time when people, for whatever reason, take to introspection, looking to decide whether or not the moments of the past 365 days have been worthwhile.
And of course, with that sense of reflection comes a desire to push forward, to make the most of the upcoming 366 (that's right, it's a Leap Year!) and do something great not only for oneself but also for the world.
But a lot of times, people find that the goals they've set simply aren't feasible; going to the gym once a week turns into once a month and trying to eat healthy becomes shoveling a superfluous amount of potato chips into their mouths. This never-ending cycle of drastic goal-setting eventually points toward one thing: setting a new goal for the next year to do the same thing they couldn't succeed at this year.
