Starting a new year: Between reasons and instincts

After of something more than a year without write in my blog, I think that a good way to start this year is follow my instinct. This instinct said me that I must share the introspection which I have in these last days of 2010 and two days starting this 2011.
I know that the most people did the same things in this season, review the goals reached, the failures, and planning the "new" list of objectives (normally are similar for all ¬¬). However one important conclusion that I have is that this list of goals are good, but is not enough. I mean, set goals is good for our lives in short and long time, but this question brings two problems that we don't take into account. The first is that we don't planning how to reach these goals (in general), and the end, when you evaluate them the number of goals are near the number of deceptions, which can be an unpleasant question. The second conclusion is we must not forget our instinct. Many times due to the routine, responsibilities, or other things, we repress some things that we want to do but finally we did not.
The two conclusions are related, because both can provide a disappointment or satisfaction. When we list the goals of year also we must planning how we reach them (step by step) in order to ensuring the goal. The time needed to reach each goal is different and we must take into account too. On the other hand, follow the instinct mean that, if we are doing the routine things and the tasks necessary to reach the planning goals and we have a feeling that we want to do something and we believe that we must do, just do it!. Try do it, is better than regretting not doing so.
Finally I just want that you keep in your mind these reflexions. Maybe you think that these are obvious but the point is put into practice. As far as I'm concerned, for years I've forgotten these thoughts and I just hope this year 2011 to start putting into practice the result of my introspection. To do this I hope to have a proper balance between my reason and instinct. Surely this will achieve different goals (both personal and professional) with the personal satisfaction of accomplishment.

Happy New Year!!! let omens aside, schedule and fight your goals, and don't forget to follow your instincts.
