This is the time of the year when we historically look to make resolutions.  “This year I am going to [fill in the blank with stop smoking, lose weight, leave my job, etc.].”  The resolutions are usually built around disappointment with ourselves (I’m fat) or are a punishment (I love to smoke, but it is bad for me so I have to stop).  We tackle our resolutions with a vengeance.  We beat ourselves into submission.  We guilt ourselves into making changes.  We berate our current state and then set lofty unreachable ideals.  And, usually in a few days, weeks, or if we are a rare bird, months, we drop our resolutions.  Instead, what if this year you set intentions?
