The best answer I ever heard to the question “so what are your career goals?” was “I want to be free.” I hope freedom for all of you, whatever that may mean.

Define your own freedom, define your own path.

Perhaps consider that you already have everything you need to achieve your dreams, maintain or improve your health and wellbeing, and find true happiness.

There is something about the cold, damp days of January and February that always makes me want to hibernate. However, everyday the sun rises a smidgen earlier and sets a smidgen later. There is always something to look forward to, even if it’s an extra few moments of sunshine.

Get yourself up and out even if it’s cold!
A great meal with friends is a fantastic way to spend a Saturday evening. Enjoy the weekend y’all!

Good food and good friends are some of the best parts of life.
New year, new you, find the way to happiness with this diet, this philosophy or a new regime! Alternatively, perhaps the way to actual happiness is to lower our expectations. That doesn’t mean succumbing to mediocrity or giving up on your hopes, dreams and goals. It just means redefining our expectations – pat yourself on the back for getting started, or accomplishing a part of your goal. Or, reflect on all of the good things in your life. Or take a moment to recognise what is going right – you wake up every morning, perhaps enjoy a tasty caffeinated beverage to a world where everyone is connected in some way or another. It’s a wonderful time to be alive!

Low expectations result in few disappointments: today, there is grass, it is green and delicious to someone.
Tomorrow is Monday so let’s do this! There are only two weeks left in 2018 – did you accomplish everything you hoped, was it as magical as you dreamed? What are your aspirations, ambitions and expectations for 2019? Find a few moments in the hustle and bustle of the final holiday rush to take stock and plan ahead.

The future is bright, perhaps 2019 will be the best year yet?
