I still hear 'New Year, New You' which is true as well as a truism-but is so often said it's in danger of being reduced to trite rather than regarded as truth.
Before chugging hemlock, Socrates offered, "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new."
Sydney Harris brilliantly summarized our all-too-human condition, "Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time; what we really want is for things to remain the same but to get better."
So. Here we are unless we decide to move on.
