What if one made a decision to learn something new? You don’t have to wait until New Year’s Day to begin. Why not begin today. Perhaps you want to learn a new language, how to play the guitar, or how to do a podcast. There are an infinite number of things to learn. Our minds want to learn. They want the workout. Imagine two people, each of whom wants to learn to speak enough Spanish to help them communicate when they visit a Spanish speaking country. One person downloads a language learning app and practices every day. The other person does nothing. In one year, they’re both a year older, yet, the former person can now visit a Spanish speaking country and can confidently make his/her way around.

I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).
