Time is fickle. As the new year draws closer, it is normal to get pumped up to set new goals. You shouldn’t be too engrossed with goal setting that you actually forget to live.
Have you considered doing something you have never done before in the coming year? What fun stories do you have to share at the end of the year? Have you tried starting a business of your own? When last did you feel really free and relaxed? How well have you lived?
