Every January I like to set some goals for the New Year. I don't make resolutions - they seem to get broken before I even get to February. Goals, on the other hand, give me something to aim at. If I don't hit the target immediately, I am more likely to keep trying if I at least know what the target it. Here are some questions that have helped me through the years to determine what I want to accomplish and what things I might want to change in the months ahead.
What is my purpose on earth?
What do I want people to say about me at the end of my life?
What principles am I willing to stand up for?
What are the ethical lines I will not cross?
I know those are some very heavy-duty questions, but remember, "If you aim at nothing, you'll hit it every time."
So I recommend that you sit down with a pencil and paper and start writing. After all, "Thoughts disentangle themselves when passing over the lips and through the pencil tips."
This can be a road-map for the year ahead.
