We\u2019ve come to the end of another year, and it\u2019s a good time to take stock and consider how we\u2019d like to grow and change during our next trip around the sun.

They talk about how they\u2019d like to change over the next year, different approaches to new year\u2019s resolutions, do a little digging around in Forrest\u2019s psyche, and highlight a few practical things we can do to support our growth.\xa0\nNew Course From Rick!
