Staying On Track




On new years afternoon I sat down with some coffee, books and the newspaper of that day and to think about the coming year and decide what my year theme should be. I found my main question was: How to keep that inner fire burning? In the last couple of years I really discovered what's important to me, what I want to spend my time on and what not. But somehow I find I'm easily distracted, mostly by what I think people expect from me or just by everyday life. My theme for 2011 is staying on track (on track = staying true to what I think is important). I think the best (and most fun:) way to this, is reading about subjects that really matter to me. Why not start right now? Tonight I ordered the first book of my list: The art of non-confirmity.

  1. dat vind ik een mooi voornemen, het zou op mij ook goed van toepassing kunnen zijn. Soms verlies ik mezelf in banale dingen waardoor ik aan het einde van de dag het gevoel heb dat het wat een verloren dag was. Ik wens je alvast veel leesplezier in 2011! :)

  9. What a gorgeous illustration, I absolutely love it. And I also really like your ideas for this year. I definitely know what it's like to get distracted from the most important things in life, and I do believe we need little reminders throughout the year to stay in focus. :)
