Instead of focusing so much on where you want to be in a year or two or five, start focusing more on the journey itself. After all, the journey is your day-to-day life! Slow down and pay more attention to how you’re living your life now, not just how you want your life to be later. It’s too easy to get caught up in the rat race and the urge for more power or money. Once you reach your goals, will you have good friends to celebrate with? Put work aside and play a little.

Of course, thinking big is what you’re best at, but if you get too far out there today, you could miss out on a big opportunity or lose someone’s interest. Make a serious effort to keep it real!

You’re feeling the desire to try something new together, and your good energy should make it easy and fun. It can be almost anything from a new sport to a new language.

Do what it takes to keep your mind off of your finances. It’s amazing how happy and content you can feel when socializing over food. That’s just one prescription.
