The Basics 7: Goal Setting

1. A goal can be set anytime, not just new year.
2. A goal needs a walk, some writing and considerable reflection to make it real. 
3. A goal set over a glass of wine, at a party, in the crowd when heart, mind and soul are truly (rightly) elsewhere is unlikely to bind your will.
4. Goals may be big. But they need to have time friendly (20 minutes) and brain friendly ('no problem-I can do that') first steps.
5. When setting the goal, agree the first three ever-so-easy steps.
6. Don't wait for January. Break out of the crowd.
7. Set a breakthrough one today.

Why We Love The Beatles (v2) 65 of 100: Lovable

You couldn't get a more lovable group of lads. In the early days, anyone, boy or girl, could quickly attach themselves to the one they preferred and in later years could associate with the appropriate boy + philosophy: Paul-love Life, love people; John-Life's a mess, man; Ringo-the money's great. And George. George was the spiritual one. Always the most introvert in a surprisingly introvert band, he found the demands on his time and lack of privacy most intrusive. He was the one who got most from India and made it a way of life rather than just another adventure, fully integrating the thinking into his vocations as gardener, meditator and into his music. He  became highly proficient on the  sitar and influenced  so many of the lovely tracks which take us down and inwards and get us reflecting.
