JS Tip 561: Identifying Where You Want to Go

If you’ve taken any of the workshops, you’ll recognize the quotation. It’s from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. 

Alice meets the Cheshire Cat: 

“Would you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here?”

“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat. 

“I don’t much care where,” said Alice. 

“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat. 

This is one of the scariest quotations in all of literature. Alice doesn’t care where shewantsto go, so it doesn’t matter where shegoes.

Aimless. Directionless. Waste. Futility. Loss. 

Someone wise once said, “Too many people are just walking around to save funeral expenses.”* 

Aimless. Directionless. Waste. Futility. Loss.  

The beginning of a new year is an excellent time to plan or revisit your plan about where you want to go. What you want to do. What you want to be. 

Find some quiet time. Use a pencil and a blank sheet of unlined paper. Let the ideas flow. Identify where you want to go in life. Then find a way to get there. Live deliberately. 

We love this stuff. We appreciate you.

*When we searched the internet for the quotation, all we got were hints on saving funeral expenses. That was funny.
