A new year, new hope in the horizon
Resolutions do not matter
They are made to be broken
What matters most is the will to carry on
To pick up the broken pieces and move on
Everything may not have gone the way we wanted
But that’s how life usually is
Scars fester and are infertile
Need not carry those in our hearts
Analyzing and overanalyzing
Old ideas hibernating
What did not work, let’s throw those away
It’s time to come in from the cold
Reinvigorated, much still need to be done
Compromise does not mean defeat
It’s will to fight another day

Nicely done. Personally, I think we sometimes have to go backward to go forward. I like Toyota’s idea of problem solving using the Five Whys. When you encounter a problem, ask why it happened. Take that answer and ask why. Five times should be enough to get to the root cause. Then go forward from there. It keeps a solution from just being a Band-aid. 🙂

Thank you.
I am not so sure about applying Toyota ‘s solution to our personal life. It will make life too boring.

This rings so true for me! That’s how I felt when I was throwing away my list of 2016 goals and writing up the new one for 2017.
Happy new year! 🙂

Resolutions normally fall apart because we try to do too much within a short span. Just make every day count in some way, even if it is a small step.

Yes, that seems more reasonable.
