Every time Jan 1 rolls around, we do the same things: 

  1. curse our hangover 
  2. eat sauerkraut
  3. make goals

I say, fuck that. Here’s a better idea. 

This time of year, instead of pointing fingers at those around you, go inward.  Use this moment to make yourself accountable for your role in 2016, and begin planning your part in 2017. We all deserve a share of the mess. ​

Why?
