Join me for a moment of realism (which is my way of softening this less than awesome news): you’re probably not going to achieve your New Year’s resolution.
You’re certainly not alone. I’m not likely to see my aspirations come to fruition either; nor are roughly 80% of our fellow goal setters, according to U.S. News & World Report.
There are several reasons why come February, the vast majority of us aren’t thinner, more fit, sleeping better, saving more/spending less, or living life to the fullest — which are apparently among the most common resolutions.
