I will no longer begin sentences with, "From now on." From this point forward.

Most people who make such statements do so habitually. The fact is these people are constantly having revelations and making rules for themselves. None of them stick and they go through life in a perpetual state of supposed improvement.

This compares directly to the theory of the meaning of life being a series of breakthroughs or revelations followed by change and improvement. I wrote specifically about a hypothetical person who is paralyzed from the waist down and thanks fate or another entity/idea for giving their life purpose: to get ramps everywhere. This is similar to the goal-setting theory, although the goal-setters embroider their posture with far less sentiment. They just set goals and "move on" as they say. Move toward what I ask? More goals forever until death?
