Inspiration for 2012

I've always been a pragmatist. It has to be realistic before I decide to do something. I have to admit that I might have missed out on a lot along the pragmatic way but with all the responsibilities of life and family, I don't think I will ever be able to let that side of me go.

I also want to be useful. I want to use my skills (whatever they might be) for the benefit of a life or two, and no, corporations don't count.

In most cases, those two sides of me don't mix very well because doing one might cause the neglect of the other. So in the last few months I've been searching for ideas on how to be pragmatic and useful at the same time. I haven't thought of anything yet (not surprising) but I know that I should stretch the practical side of me this coming year.

As much as I prefer being comfortable, curve balls, come get me!
