New you challenge.

It is that season. As the new year approaches, we are going to see more and more advertisements for “new you” challenges. Thirty days. Sixty days. Six weeks. The length varies ever so slightly—always too short for any meaningful change to occur, and too short for habit to take hold. Just long enough to tempt you and to grab your business.

I would argue that there is no need for a “new you”. There is only need for a “better you”.

Determine to pursue a plan for constant improvement (kaizen) going forward into 2020. Determine to grow Spiritually, Physically, Intellectually, Emotionally, and Social. Don’t expect a “transformation” in days or a few weeks. Rather, pursue the subtle consistent change that will persist. Don’t fall for “hacks” and “quick-fixes”. Seek only to…

be your best today; be better tomorrow.

Carpe momento!
