Sure, you could start by delving into what you'd like to accomplish in the new year, but in order to make the most sound, realistic, and successful choices, you can

look to your goals from the previous year. How many of them did you accomplish? How did that make you feel? Journal about your accomplishments, and then take a gander

at what didn't work out. Did you decide that the goal was something you no longer value? Then no need to carry that over into 2017 planning. Was the goal

you didn't accomplish just too daunting? Then break it down into smaller more digestible steps for the coming year.

Maybe you were just a few minutes late... to most of your meetings this year. Or perhaps you were going to work out daily, then it ended up being more

like once per week. Are you a night owl who swears you'll hit the hay by 10pm, only to find you're on a Netflix binge well past midnight? These are

seemingly innocent habits that can compound, taking you farther away form the person you want to become. Make note of them (literally) to keep them in check in 2017.

Mentorship is a relationship in which one person knows more than the other, and guides their subordinate to take in that knowledge, but the relationship isn't necessarily one sided. Often

mentors learn much from their mentee. It doesn't matter if they're older, younger, bigger, or smaller, there's always something you can learn, and something you can teach. Make 2017 the

year of becoming aware of how you can simultaneously give back while boosting others up.
