2014 won’t be different unless you are.

how to change the future

What will you do different in 2014?

For years, I refused to apply the same principles to my relationship that I applied in every other part of my life.

For example, if I wanted to lose weight, I changed the way I exercised, ate, or both.

Simple.

If I wanted to make more money, I changed the way (or amount) I worked.

Makes sense.

But for some reason, my solution to having a better marriage was the equivalent of talking louder and slower to someone who doesn’t speak the same language as me…

(You know… because “WHERE! CAN! I! BUY! SOME! BACON!” is a magical language that everyone understands, even if they don't undersatnd “where can I buy some bacon?” There’s no way I’m the only one who has done that… right?).

Every December I convince myself that “next year will be different.”

But “next year” was never different.

Because I wasn't different.

I'd do the same things over and over again and wondered why “next year” was never different.

Yes… I know there's a “definition of insanity” joke in there somewhere.

But something happened earlier this year.

And I finally realized that I’m the only one who can make the future different from the past.

So 2014 will be different now.

Because I will be.

What will you do different in 2014?

How will you improve your marriage?
