b'The dawn of a new year always brings about the optimist in people. Everything that we failed to accomplish in the previous year finds it\'s way back into our minds. That which was a failure on December the 31st mysteriously transforms into a goal on January 1st! We call them resolutions because we have purposefully "resolved" in our minds that this year will be different.

This leads us to modify our behavior but rarely addresses what is at the core: the condition of our heart.'
