Building what we Burn

As the new year starts we find ourselves reflecting on our past year and deciding which of our past years goals we can build and which ones it would be better for us to burn.  For all of our dreams at the beginning of last year some we have fulfilled some we are in the mix of making a reality, while others it would probably be better if we put to the flame and started over for lives change in a year our perception of attainable and meaningful goals change.  For through the year  some of our efforts will have proved fruitful while others will have  been in vain  and in there place others must spring up to replace and keep our lives moving forward.
For whatever reason some of our goals for the last year fell on the wayside and were neglected or forgotten, but does that mean they were not good goals in the first place.  I heard on the radio the other day a man was talking about how people should only set goals which reinforce our strengths instead of trying to make a weakness a strength, in a sense building on existing buildings.  This however I feel is a little short sided and neglects what actually leads to one achieving a goal which is hard work and not whether something is easy or not, which of coarse is a deterrence but not a deal breaker.  One can achieve nearly any goal if the proper force and effort is exerted in that direction however in some cases one has to rely on chance for their ultimate goal to be achieve in which case one should be ready to set fire to it come next year.
One shouldn't worry to much about having to burn down something they spent there year building for as in nature ashes make good nutrients to feed the goals which will some day take there place .  Skills acquired in pursuit of a goal will stay with you as tools in your tether which can be used to surmount other goals.  So as one puts there eyes to the future whilst burning some of there past intention it is better to focus on what was accomplished than what wasn't after all even fully completed buildings are set ablaze to give rise to new ones
 which will someday take there place.
