New Year's Resolutions

There is nothing as rewarding as accomplishing a goal knowing that you put all your heart into doing so. I found two very inspiring articles online that I read a couple of times containing a list of do's and dont's in life. I have decided to turn this these lists into my New Year's resolutions. Although the dont's may seem like mirrors of the do's and vice-versa, they are different but similar in a way. I hope this post inspires all of you as much as it has inspired me.
