"Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man."

— Benjamin Franklin

"New year, new me" is more of a saying than a reality. An arbitrary tradition that reminds us to be better than we were the year before. If we lived in a world where the strike of twelve on the same day every year erased the choices we made months prior, there would be no need to build habits or hold ourselves accountable; there would be no real consequences. As we prepare to celebrate, remember that renewal comes from the effort you put in, not from the effort you plan on giving. Nothing will change on January 1st if you failed to follow through on the promises you made to yourself last year.

For someone as ambitious as we are, each New Year serves as a reminder of where we still need to go, what we still lack, and how our achievements over the past 12 months often seem insufficient in making significant progress. I'm here to tell you that slow movement is still movement, and usually the most vital movement for whatever it is we're creating. As long as our actions reflect our resolutions, the year will present us with both positives and negatives to make it absolute. It is our job to stay the course no matter what. Do not mistake your feelings of stagnation as a sign that you are not on the right path. Sometimes life tests us to see if we actually want what we say we want.

What goals, whether related to music or not, do you have for this year, and how do you plan to achieve them? What habits do you want to quit, and what new habits do you want to develop? Who do you want by your side, and who no longer contributes to the person you aspire to be? If you don't have clear answers to these questions, next year will likely repeat the same patterns: the same problems, the same challenges, and the same reactions. All I ask is that if you decide to make a promise to yourself this year, you act despite what may be there to stop you. As always, your Double M family is here and ready for action!

Wishing everyone a happy holiday and a joyous New Year!
