Self-Improvement

Every year, Christmas arrives and people remember kindness. New Year’s brings resolutions. Valentine’s Day schedules love. We compress values into calendar dates, perform them for a season, then return to baseline. This pattern repeats across holidays because we treat values like events instead of operating systems. The real test is never the holiday. It’s the day after, when nothing prompts you to act differently. If a value disappears when the date changes, it was never a value. It was a moment.
