No matter what you’re doing, there’s a time to end it. Maybe you have trouble making an important decision. Mull over it. Obtain additional information. Consult with people you respect. But don’t get stuck in the paralysis of analysis syndrome. Eventually, it’s time to make a decision. Maybe you’ve been arguing with a family member. After a certain point, does it matter who’s right, who’s wrong? Say what you have to say. Then, let go and agree to disagree. Enough is enough.

Make it happen this New Year.
