AS WE wave goodbye to the past year and welcome in a new decade, many of us will be wondering about what this year will bring.

New Year’s resolutions kick off at the beginning of January, with people hoping to make positive changes to their lives. With all this change that is expected to come this year, StoryTerrace – a tailor-made biography-writing service – reveals the nation’s most popular New Year’s resolutions and provides insight into how these changes can have significant impact on the lives we lead and the stories we leave behind – paving the way for future generations.

When we make resolutions, many of us have no idea how long they will last or just how much they could potentially impact the rest of our lives.

Every resolution we make, we stick to, or leave behind define who we are as people and contribute to an individual’s life story as well as the society we live in.

Rutger Bruining, CEO of StoryTerrace said: “As we kick off the new year, many people will be looking to make a New Year’s resolution, making changes to their lives that differ from the year before.

“Sometimes, it is hard to imagine that the decisions we make – such as choosing New Year’s resolutions – have the potential to completely change your experiences, your memories, and ultimately the stories you tell others.

“At StoryTerrace, we love to hear about the defining decisions every individual makes and how it shapes the society that they live in. Every person’s story is worth telling provided you ask the right questions and we believe these tales have the power to unite people and shape generations in years to come.”
