COLUMN: February is the month to revisit broken resolutions

Our January blues have come to an end and as everything begins to get slightly brighter again it's time for everyone to start looking on the brighter side of life. Christmas was what seems, a very long time ago and we can finally move forward after settling back into our routines.

Even though January is a depressing time for everyone, I feel like I managed to push through it and make a start on something beneficial. I think when considering something that could potentially affect your future, looking at it as it comes is probably going to take a lot of the heat off you.
