DAYS OF MY YOUTH - Growing up on Kauai
Myron Kashima
NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS 
It seems that as we grow older, we dismiss the power of setting goals..i.e. New Year's Resolutions. Why? Is it because we have not succeeded in the past with resolutions like - losing weight, learning to play a musical instrument or learning a new language? Whatever the reason, I personally don't think resolutions are a waste of time.
When I was younger, I can remember making a resolution to earn my next belt in martial arts within six months. Although I was not successful, I learned discipline, focus and dedication - lessons I have had to use throughout my life. As this new year arrives, so does the promise(s) of new beginnings. GO FOR IT!
Someone once said "one day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching."
Have a Happy New Year! Myron
