What are my goals?

I may soon be embarking on a new phase in my life. I have no idea what that will be, but to figure it out, I need to identify my goals. As they occur to me:

to make use of myself, my good fortune, and my skills
to usher India and/or anyone else into responsible, sustainable development
to engage myself creatively in a way that achieves the above
use design to make things happen
to learn from better, more experienced designers
to become a more fluid designer
to take creative risks and to not fear failure
to identify my goals and gain a clear sense of purpose
to erstwhile find and maintain balance in my physical, mental and spiritual life
to rekindle my artistic practice
to play more
to garden
to convince Indian businesses, government, and people of the benefits of sustainable development
to ensure that every building in India be plastered with solar panels
to start an urban garden
to save India from the folly of unsustainable development
to make information accessible
to educate through design
to instill young people with a desire to learn and to serve their societies
to hold babies
to be busy
to be happy

This can happen.

Had a nice chat with my Self today

She is super nice. Extremely mature. But it felt like She was too mature for me to really connect with her or have fun. Then again, I used to think I'd never be able to hang out with my mom. Maybe She'll be sort of like a cool older sister. I should call her more often. I'm sort of a bad friend that way.
