OK, so it turns out we overshot. Like many of you, we made a list of New Year’s resolutions that we told ourselves would change our life for the better. Sure, we say that every year, but this time it was different. We meditated. We dug deep. And out popped a gorgeous list of resolutions that we felt was entirely manageable. So jazzed were we by this wellspring of personal promises, that we wrote them all down on a piece of paper and had that paper laminated. Only now, less than two weeks later, we’ve already broken every single one of them. But rather than beat ourselves up about it, why don’t we resolve to celebrate the new year by having a gander at our impressive resolution-based shortcomings and how quickly we achieved them? Prepare to be amazed.
