Author, Harvey Mackay, posted a column recently in The Arizona Republic where he said if you don’t want this year to look like last year, the time to start making changes is now. As Mr. Mackay put it, “Start by taking charge of your life. It’s not easy, but it is necessary if you want to make this year your best year. You don’t have to do what you’ve always done or what everyone else expects from you. Think about what you want to achieve and why. Then determine how you can make that happen.” He goes on to say, “January 1 may have come and gone, but don’t wait another year to get going on your dream. A happy new year can start today.”
