I completely agree with you on this one! If you really want to make a serious change to a certain aspect in your life you must be willing to do it NOW and not later.
Also - I feel like new year resolutions could be disheartening when you dont follow through and are more likely to give up. If the attitude about it is altered to a more realistic approach then you are less likely to give up when things get tough.
Wishing you many blessings for this year @modernpastor.
