Why New Year Resolutions Don’t Stick
Theme: Build the Life You Want
Rabbi Jacobson discusses New Year’s resolutions, and why they probably won’t stick.
“Firstly, thank you a million times over for the wellspring of wisdom and insight that you have shared with me and the world! I’ve spent the last decade of my life exploring what it means to be alive as a spirit, and over the last few years you have been a continuous refuge and motivational source in my journey. I pray that I continue down the path that you have shown, and that I merit to become a source of inspiration and life to others, as you have been to people around the world.”
