Welcome to the final episode of season 3 of Small Wonders!A new year approaches - and for many, a new set of resolutions.Reading, going to the gym, travelling, lifestyle changes: all of us have a “possible self” that we strive towards.It turns out we’ve been making New Year resolutions for a very long time - at least 4,000 years in fact, according to ancient Babylonian records.Humans have always pursued personal growth.We’ve also spent millennia breaking New Year resolutions.However, it's not as dire as you might think: statistics show that most people who make resolutions keep at least part of them.The notion of the possible self is often related to both hopes - and fears - for the future.Hope and fear: the possible is connected to them both.The possible self is also a theme in the Bible, but a possible self is firmly reliant on Him through whom all things are possible.The way to the best possible self - the eternal one - comes through the humble servant, encountered in the Gospels."Going a little farther, (Jesus) fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26: 39
