I love this one for two reasons. One, Anthony Bourdain. Two, just "be."

I like the new year because it helps me to focus on things I need to change to make myself happier, be a better person..I think that when we try to change to make others happier and try to live up to their expectations is when trouble begins! We can't control much in life, because it has a way of slapping you in the face to wake you up...but we can have peace when we understand where to find it. Everyone is different in that respect.
