2025 I will be chasing some hard goals.
There is no guarantee that the adventure you choose will turn out the way you hope. That is the point. If it were safe, it wouldn't be heroic; if it were predictable, it wouldn't be an adventure.
Even if your heroic exploits prove to be more uncomfortable or painful than expected, that, too, is part of your journey. The objective is not to win in a conventional way; it is to wake up and be fully alive.
A challenging adventure doesn’t have to be physical in nature to bestow benefits; it can equally be mental. Indeed, learning new things with a spirit of curiosity and exploration has been shown to induce positive moods.
This raises an interesting paradox in the field of happiness research: people derive significantly more happiness from high-skill activities that require learning than they do from low-skill ones that don’t, yet we typically settle for the latter.

Chase your goals regardless how hard
You would accomplish it
A step at a time and you are there
