on a mission from
Goddess

Every year around this time, like everyone else, I start thinking about what I accomplished in the last year and where I fell short.  I start thinking about what I want to do in the next year.  One truth of my life is that most things that I set out to do I get done.  If set a goal, I usually accomplish it.

So what is my major goal for this year? happiness.  I plan to do what makes me happy.  I intend to be less stressed, more peaceful, more contented.   That's my aim.  Of course that doesn't mean I intend to wander around aimlessly through the year.  There are other things I wish to do, however they are subordinate to the overarching goal of allowing myself to be happy.

I use the word allowing myself to be happy because many times I allow transient circumstance to interfere with my overall wellbeing.  For the most part, I have nothing to worry about.  I'm here, my family is healthy and productive, I have friends and an interesting life.  What more could I ask for?   We all have little annoyances and things that go wrong in our days and in our lives, but if we are wise we let go of them sooner rtather than later.  I am getting better at giving over to the Goddess those things that I cannot resolve.  She never lets me down.

And for those things that I can work on myself (or you can work on yourself) I recommend a look at this post from Healing from Within on Manifesting Your Goals.  Here's my favorite part:

Sometimes people set goals based on what they think they should do rather than what feels right for them. When something is right for you it will give you energy, you will get excited and feel a sense of aliveness. This, in turn, will help you feel motivated to take action.
