Like the three frogs on a log, we can continue to sit still and take no action. We can sing our song under a full moonlight in the swamp, or jump into action and follow up on our resolve–our decision to start the new year with the person we are, not the person we hope to be. We all have the choice to live our life the way we choose–TODAY! Yeah, it’s just that simple. The Good News–Neo did this in the Matrix, and he learned to fly!
