Your warmth, to me, makes you someone who would be a great friend. I found your site while spending a very long day without goals - and getting through about 200 "self development" type emails. A few months ago a Tony Robbins tape helped me change my definition of success to a more helpful one. On my "goalless" Saturday, instead of goals, I looked at what I liked about my life, and what I'd done to get there. (Like having a computer because I didn't commit crimes and kept a job "forever." You added the aspirations (to enhance the present) instead of ruining the here and now with efforts to be elsewhere. I spoke about this at Toastmasters and said it was my last speech because my future speeches would be variations on this same topic. As a Seinfeld episonde suggested, we can only really handle having a few friends, but (in the moment, we can "love the one we're with.) Congratulations on being who you are and on getting there. Sincerely, Dick in Minneapolis PS: Thank you for the goalaholic test. It was very nice to learn that instead of being bad at goal seeking, I am LIVING THE GOOD LIFE. It's even easier to do this now that I know I'm doing it. Stephen,
