It's nearly the end of February, and I'm starting to hit that wall on my new year's resolutions. Someone on Facebook asked me recently, what's my secret to pushing through that wall?

The moment, I heard it, I knew I wanted to do a post dedicated to the original song that's sampled from German pop group Alphaville called "Forever Young."
