Story: Year Review

"Beware of looking for goals: look for a way of life. Decide how you want to live and then see what you can do to make a living within that way of life."
—Hunter S Thompson

Setting goals and attaining them are a great way to achieve success in all aspects of life. Just remember that for every Grammy winner or Olympic gold medallist, there are many that followed the same goal oriented steps and fell short. If the goal is the prize, the only prize, you'll feel satisfaction with your life only when you achieve it. That feeling usually lasts for as long as your brain will stay quiet before it asks, "what's next?" If you want to play music, play music. But if you play music only to become a star, then you'll only be happy when other people decide to treat you like a star.

One way to think about a way of life instead of goals is to reflect on your 'strong' experiences of the past year. Take note of the ones that stand out, both the strongest positive and negative ones.

Once you've done that, start filling your calendar with as many of the strong positives as you can. Call friends, make plans to meet, and prepay for activities like music lessons or the gym. These first steps will fill your time with activities that you perceive as positive, plus the financial commitment will make it more likely you follow through.

Next, remove the negative. It’s not enough to just remove the negative as that just creates a void. Make sure you're focused on filling the space with positives. You want to make sure the void you create by deleting the negative doesn't get filled with BS and needless noise.

This is one small step to getting closer to a way of life that gives you positive vibes and away from always being totally goal oriented. Let's hope the inclusion of more positive things in each of our lives will increase the positive vibes for all of us in 2024.

We thank you for your business. We wish all of you a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2024.
