January is coming to an end, and it’s not unusual to hear of people—with the most grandiose of New Year’s resolutions—stuck at not accomplishing any of them. There is beauty in simplicity, and now that February is right around the corner, one does not need that magical moment when the clock strikes 12 midnight on the eve of a new year. One can change his life for the better by taking little baby steps.
