2015 is over. 2016 is here to stay. With so many new things awaiting us, it's exciting to get started with the same old, same old. Don't get me wrong, it's really fun imagining all of the things that would magically change as soon as January came around, but that's not the case at all. It's not magic, it's a new day. It's just like January second.

It's a tad obnoxious to see everyone post those "new year, new me" posts. It's right below the "day 1 out of 365" retweets. Although they mean well, so well that they're publicly posting about how they want to positively change their own lives, it personally rubs me the wrong way for some odd reason. It's not that the people dutifully mention their resolution on social media, but it's that they'll probably believe that the new year will automatically bring new beginnings.

If we make a resolution, why don't we start today? It doesn't have to be a date of numerical significance, but we shouldn't wait for things we want that are in our own control to get better. Of course, I made little goals and resolutions like the next person, but I can assure you that I've already failed some. The difference is that I will try as much as possible to not wait another 300 plus days to begin again. Let's be real here, how any people actually complete their new year's resolution? If people were to forgive themselves and start over every day it would be a lot better.

This is the time to end the traditional New Year's resolution. The word resolution should be focused on even more--it's not a desire or a strict rule set, but decisions after decisions to make a change. The decision to continue after a setback is a difficult one, but after continuing on the upward path, it's worth it.

Wake up tomorrow and know that the smallest slip up does not define you or scrap your resolution, but rather it's the decision and the time after that which really matters in order to make this new year count. Treat every day like it's January 1st.
