I recently responded to some questions from Brett Fisher, an editor and writer for Carson Now about New Year’s resolutions for an article he was writing. It was a good article about the challenges we all face whenever we want to make changes in our lives.

As Carson City residents prepare to welcome 2016, there is something to be said about the annual tradition of making New Year’s resolutions.

The practice can be traced back to ancient Babylon, where Babylonians would make promises to their gods to pay their debts and return borrowed objects at the start of every new year. The concept of making a new year resolution is now widely practiced today around the world.

Unfortunately, the world has a history of breaking New Year’s resolutions about as long as it does of making them.

The freedom of individuals to take a job, quit a job, start a business, or close a business at will is an essential part of America. When Thomas Jefferson wrote that we have a God-given right to "the pursuit of happiness," this is a big part of what he meant. Unlike the European legacy of being chained to the family occupation, Americans are free to decide how and what work we do for a living, plus when and where.

Professional golfer Roy McAvoy is on the 18th fairway in the final round of the U.S. Open, trying to clear the ominous water hazard separating him from the green.

What this means to the average American living in freedom every day is being able to choose what you say or do without government restraint or compulsion to say or do something else.
