New Year ahead

Once again its January, a new year, a new decade and another opportunity to start over from wherever you are.

A time for resolutions, promises - to others, to self, and a time to set goals.

When things are not going well, it is logical (and easy) to use this opportunity to visualize a new way forward. It's when things are going well that it is harder to set a radically new trajectory. I guess in a way, it is a good problem to have; doing well, and trying to set a higher standard for the coming year.

I hope to set expectations for work, for holidays and for better use of my time for things I truly love to do - read, write, travel. Looking for a formula to be happy.

I read somewhere that "the phrase pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase, if you pursue happiness, you will never find it." (C.P Snow)

Perhaps it is better to remember this New Year email message that said "There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way."
