Looking for a New Year’s Resolution? How about joining me at the gym?
I go to the gym on a regular basis. What do I do when I’m there?
If I told you, “I go there to work up a sweat and make myself sore from lifting heavy objects,” very few of you would want to join me. If I said, “I get up before the sun rises and run three miles uphill before the office opens for the day,” I would surmise that most of you would rather sleep in. If I said, “I go to build memories with my boys – like running a 5K with them, being able to slalom around the lake on water skis with them, and hoisting a full backpack and leading them on a hike to the summit of Mt. Washington when I grow older,” then I would bet that’s a resolution many of you would find appealing and easier to keep.
Building memories with our kids…now, that’s a resolution many of us can embrace and an example of turning a story into action.
