It is the beginning of the year and beginnings are when people tend to reflect and choose.

And maybe change direction.

Not just at the beginning of a new year, but any beginning — new month, new home, new relationship, new pet, new job, new boss, new colleague(s), new outfit, new [you name it].

I’m as prone to this as anyone, although my internal editor, who provides constant commentary — mostly irreverent, rarely complimentary — on my actions, ideas and thoughts, thinks requiring a beginning to start something is pretty silly.

When we start something has little to do with whether we finish it, let alone if it’s a success.

We all know that starting is easy, especially in comparison to sustaining the effort.

Instead of spending all your energy on the planning, save a good deal for sustaining what you started and staying flexible, so you can address challenges quickly.
