BE Resolute: Ditch the List and Embody Your Purpose

Rather than compiling a usual list of resolutions that may fall by the wayside as weeks and months pass, consider adopting a mindset that really embodies your true purpose. Being resolute is about your attitude or approach to achieving goals, while a list of resolutions is about the specific goals or intentions themselves.
