And the other thing, resolutions, we know they don't work according to research.

And why is that?

Is because the plan is not adequate for the idea.

And so within three months, the majority of resolutions fall apart.

So there is good science, though, about the timeliness of a fresh start.

So a fresh start happens on a Monday.

A fresh start happens at breakfast.

A fresh start happens on January 1st.

A fresh start happens in the U.S., let's say Thanksgiving Day.

There's a fresh start going into a holiday season, something like that.

So taking advantage of this momentum that happens around fresh starts, there's good signs there.

So when we use January 1st as a mechanism to get our stuff together, to declare and make a promise about how we're going to do a new fresh year, and then we put in the work underneath of it of the things, the skills that we need

hopefully to master, to be proficient with.

That is how the best in the world work is that they use the beginning of a season with an idea of what they want to go do.

And then they spend all of their time working on mastering the capabilities so that when they have moments,

like a game, that they're able to express themselves at the highest level, what they're truly capable of.

And I'll leave you with this on the goal setting thing.

I spent 10 years with the Seattle Seahawks.

We won a Super Bowl and we lost the Super Bowl, which is a rare thing to do, super special.

Both of those years, we only talked about winning once.
