Thanks to Nap. Hill, I want to ask you to join me in examining ourselves carefully and solemnly fill that glass with your brew, straighten your elf jacket, tip your hat forward, and toast to yourself to banish at least one if not all of these alibis that do nothing but limit our fullest potential in the next 365 days. Just think, imagine, the things you can do if you just stop believing these rubbish!

Gee, don't you get tired even just reading those excuses? And we all get a choice to not listen to ourselves making it anymore. Start today, make a positive difference for yourself.
You deserve that much.
