Some say that you won't achieve anything without goals, some say you don't need goals to achieve. I have been trying the latter, unintentionally, for the last couple of years. I think I will now try moving with some goals.
I thought I had found the perfect lifestyle.. working in an industry I felt good about, that also allowed me plenty of time to pursue my love of travel. Then in 2008 I took a knocking. In 2009 I took another go at it, and that went very badly too. I had to call it quits. I was very unhappy, very cynical. So I did what I always do when I need to feel better. I traveled.
I knew it was time for a change, but wasn't sure what that change should be. I imagined that whatever was meant to happen would happen along the way. I drifted. That doesn't mean that I haven't enjoyed this last period. But I wasn't focusing on anything in particular. I just bumped along from one thing to the next.
I have had plenty of time over the last few months for reading, thinking, eating well, yoga and other good things. Today begins a plan that has come out of that.
This year I will travel in a different direction, following interests that I know make me healthy and happy. And sure, things often don't go as planned, but my decisions will be guided by the goals I've set for myself.
I am looking forward to the coming year.

It's very interesting the parallels I have with this blog entry. Interesting indeed. There are some huge differences too, but the similarities are intriguing and worth a personal discussion. =]
