I have never really been into New Years Eve, or the idea of New Years resolutions. The clock does not stop and reset at midnight and the tragedies around the world, the issues we face in this country and within ourselves, will still be there on January 1. I do, however, believe that if you promise yourself to do something you should make yourself do that. We should be constantly working to better ourselves all year round as if it was your New Years resolution. Whatever time of the year it is, stay motivated and stay fighting.

I am a firm believer that your mood is heavily affected by the music you are listening to so I made a playlist that needs to be your ass kicking, motivation playlist. Don't see anything you like? Make your own!
