The new year hope lingers into the teens—January can be such an exciting time. But the most important thing is to channel that hope into action. When we strive to become better humans, the world gets better too. And if enough of us strive, maybe we can maintain the focus on our ourselves and our families and communities, and be confident that the world will take care of itself. When we do good for both ourselves and others, we do good for the world too. Doesn’t that feel good?
