Each year my goals and resolutions are the same.
eat healthier, exercise more and lose weight
get organized, purge and clean the house
volunteer my time and give back
The underlying theme is always about persistence, vision, personal growth and positive change. The problem is never the vision, or where I want to go, it's the execution and getting there that's the hard part. Staying motivated over the long game can be challenging, at least for me.
One way I motivate myself to take the first step and keep on stepping is by drawing inspiration from other people's stories and journeys. These movies are sure to inspire and motivate you in 2016.
