The importance of setting yourself short-term goals

I have come to realise over the last while that life is not all about long-term goals and achievements.
You never know what lies in wait around the corner. Losing my uncle very suddenley last year has had an immediate effect on my father, his brother.

My dad is now living for today, he is ticking off his bucket list, and without even realising it he has encouraged me to do the same. Planning for the next ten years is great, don't get me wrong I'm not saying don't set yourself long-term goals. But I am saying don't forget about the ten years in between, don't forget about all the smaller goals you could be reaching.

My goal for this weekend is to learn something about the fine art of wine tasting. Before last year I never enjoyed the taste of red wine, I am now enjoying the learning process and need to refine my taste buds.
Carpe Diem, seize the moment!
