According to FC Organizational Products LLC, New Year's Resolutions Survey, which polled more than 1,000 adults. The 2013 New Year's Resolutions Survey found the top four New Year's resolutions remain the same as prior year: (1) become more physically fit; (2), improve one's financial condition; (3) improve health; and (4) lose weight.
However, there were two new resolutions that made top 10 list, which are, becoming more educated and improve work habits/career situation. With these 2 new focuses on education and career, tells me that consumers may be feeling the economy is reviving enough to invest in an education and venture out into the job market. FYI: one resolution fell off the Top 10 list - improve other relationships.

So, what is your new year's resolution? Is it to lose weight? Be more healthy? Educate yourself? Well, whatever it is, don't give up.
My new year's resolutions are to become more educated, improve work habits and career situations, travel more, and be more positive.
I have come to realize that having a positive attitude will change everything in your life. Let yourself be happy. Always remember there is someone out there who has it worse. So be thankful for what you have. If you have to go to work be thankful you have a job. If you have to workout, be thankful that you are able to move and exercise because a lot of people out there do not have that ability.
Let's take over what happens in our lives by making it the way we want. Let's keep moving forward in 2013 and really see how strong you are.
