A new finding

Isn't life supposed to be pursuing the goal instead of little things happening aside the way?

I went to San Diego Zoo yesterday and Ben and I took SkyFari, an air gondola tour. At first, I was afraid of little rattling sounds and physical shaking because I was focusing on what was happening around me instead of enjoying the goal that I had, which is to overview of the zoo. The funny phenomenon was that the more I focus on the rattling nature of gondola, the more I get afraid of the tour although the experience was supposed to be fun and rewarding. After all, I changed my focus to the zoo and started browsing over the zoo. From that moment to the end of the tour, I was able to reach a moment of solace and comfort even though I was high in the air.

The lesson is that I need to set up goal in my life. And that process starts today the January 1st.
