I do not believe the only time to set goals is at the beginning of a new year, but the ending of a year and the beginning of a new one is a great time to look at one's life and to evaluate. There is an article in the December 2016 Ensign that has some wonderful thoughts:
Remember that you don't have to be doing something extraordinary to have an extraordinary life, but you do have to be doing something. The key is to keep moving.
(Mindy Anne Selu)
The path to eternal life is not on a plateau. Rather, it is an incline, ever onward and upward.
(Elder Keith K. Hilbig)
The sad part of humanity seems to be the utter lack of desire, in the lives of many, to really do something about enlarging the vistas of their existence.
(Elder John H. Vandenberg)
Make it a serious matter of prayer to find out how you can best improve your life and what His will is for you. It is not enough to do things. We must do the right things--the things our Heavenly Father would want us to do.
(Mindy Anne Selu)
Set short-term goals that you can reach. Set goals that are well balanced--not too many nor too few, and not too high nor too low. Write down your attainable goals and work on them according to their importance. Pray for divine guidance in your goal setting.
(Elder Russell M. Ballard)
Choose and act for yourself. Be motivated from within. Make a plan for your life. Set goals, overcome mistakes, gain experience, and finish what you begin.
(Elder Robert D. Hales)
Grab a paddle, an oar, or just start up that engine--whatever your personal goal-reaching incentives may be--and get moving.
(Mindy Anne Selu)
