"Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try."
This is my new motto for 2016. Instead of making unrealistic New Year's resolutions that will fall by the wayside, I'm making the committment to better myself by making the effort to do so. To try with smaller steps instead of larger goals that lead to no change. Goals are great, but making ones you know you'll never put forth the effort to accomplish is just a waste of time, in my opinion.
Make it a year-round practice to do things for yourself, try new things and step outside of your comfort zone. For once, put your happiness and health first and focus on your own personal growth.
Since I have found comfort in making lists lately and the satisfaction that comes with crossing items off once I complete them, here's a list goal I am going to try to embrace in the New Year.

Strive to be the best you can be a little bit each day. Wishing everyone a safe, healthy and happy new year!
