The new year is under way and many people have fallen back into the routines that they promised to change as part of a new years resolution.

Now is the time to take a look at how your grand plans have been progressing.  Whether you have fallen off the horse or not, take stock, and if you need to, gather yourself and start moving again in the right direction.

In retrospect, my endeavors have not been as successful as they could have been but I am making progress.  The progress I have made is similar to that of the stock market in this period – making significant gains even while suffering occasional set backs.  Learning new habits and making significant changes takes time and commitment.  But the most important ingredient is consistency.  Two steps forward and one step back will get you there eventually, it just takes longer.
