What are your plans for 2020 and who are you cutting off from your life? Lol. It’s normal to see posts on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram about being a changed person, taking no bull crap from anyone and cutting people of, yen yen yen.  Truth is, it’s good to want to evaluate your life and strategize on the path going forward and all that; but then, why wait for the 31st of December to make such decisions? You can make decisions like that anytime you feel they are necessary. You don’t need to cross your legs waiting for the clock to chime in 12.00 am on January 1st before you decide. January 1st is another day just like November 6th or March 14th. Do what you need to do to effect that positive change you desire in your life and DO IT NOW!
