As we kick-off 2015, many will make their annual list of resolutions that they will only achieve success in breaking.  So, congratulations.   For some, creating a resolution list is personal, familial, or it might be a communal, societal expectation that gives the resolver warm-fuzzies for consideration of the resolution.  For some that’s where it ends, but for others, they will hit the ground running and maintain their resolutions(s).  Why?  Because the resolute are committed to and intentional about being successful whether it’s for themselves or their family.  Why does the calendar have anything to do with making positive changes in one’s life?  Because for now it allows people to keep doing whatever they’re doing.  The term now is too much of a commitment for those who really don’t desire change.  What if people just make up their minds to begin making changes NOW instead of making the excuse to start making changes tomorrow, next week, next month  or next year?  Why not start now?  A calendar has nothing to do with anything and if it’s important, I’ll borrow the old Nike slogan and suggest, JUST DO IT.

Here is my list of things that I would like to see some become intentional about in 2015:

Learn the proper spelling of homonyms and learn to use proper punctuation before posting statuses and comments on social networks or blogs.

Stop posting relationship grievances on social networks and instead of depending on social network ‘friends‘ to provide advice, get professional help.

Stop saying,amazeballs, YOLO, I know right? and like before every like word in your like repertoire and get a word of the day calendar because a limited vocabulary is a clear sign of ignorance.
