It’s almost the start of a new year! I’m not much of a party person, so on New Year’s Eve, I spend time choosing a goal for the coming year. Then I blast Jimi Hendrix’s version of ‘Auld Lang Syne.’ (This can be found on the album Jimi Hendrix: Live at the Fillmore East.) I think it’s important to choose a goal that will enrich your spirit. If you admire painters, start painting. If you want to feel more empowered, take a self-defense class. If you’re bored at work, get a job more in line with your interests. If you need mental stimulation, join a club and meet new people. If you’re an armchair Francophile, start learning French and planning a trip to Paris. Pick a goal that you’re excited about. Pick a goal that will change your life.
My goal for the next year is to take an extended road trip all over the United States. How about you?
