Make a Wish List

Most of us know of New Year’s Resolutions, where one sets intentions for the year ahead. But too often, people make their resolutions     1     — “I will no longer eat biscuits left at my desk”— and then feel unhappy. In the cold month of January, the last thing you need is to     2     your energy further by setting up a series of battles with yourself. And if you break a resolution, you feel     3    , which is a rubbish way to start the year. What you need instead are things to look forward to.

So instead, try a wish list. This involves writing down 100 things you would like to do in the year ahead. The items can be enormous or tiny, ranging from “Climb Everest” to “buy a new pencil sharper”. The main thing is that at some point it has     4     to you as something that you would like to do.

The key here is — write it down.

Do you feel any resistance to the ideas? If so, ask yourself why. What is wrong with     5     what you would like to do? Try not to say to yourself: “I can’t I don’t have the money/time/energy/skills.” Just write it down.

It helps to be     6    , so rather than “Get outdoors”,     7     a place you would like to visit. And take your time when creating it — a wish list is not built in a day. Think about it, polish it and     8     it.

Finally, you have your list. And what a work of beauty it is. Here are all the things that you would like to do. Remember to     9     them up where you can see them; let yourself consider how they can be accomplished. You’ll be amazed that so many of your dreams can be realized though the simple trick of writing them down and     10     to them.

Happiness is a journey

We always     1    ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are     2    that the kids aren’t old enough and we’ll be more content when they are. After that we’ re discouraged that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they’ re out of that stage.

We always tell ourselves that our life will be     3    when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, when we are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire. The truth is there’s no better time than right now. If not now, when? Our life will always be filled with challenges. It’s best to     4    this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.

One of my favourite     5    comes from a writer. He said, “For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin—real life. But there was always some     6     in the way, something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served,   or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it     7    on me that these obstacles were my life.” This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So     8    every moment that you have.

And remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you get married, until you get     9    , until you have kids, until you retire, until you get a new car or home, until you die to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.

Happiness is a journey, not a     10    . So, work like you don’t need money, love like you’ve never been hurt, and dance like no one’s watching.
