I guess I don't have any goals. The story of my life. Lots of wishes but no goals. Sometimes I think maybe I should wish for goals. But I hesitate because I'm not sure I understand the dangers and complexities that come with being goal oriented. Anyway there is little chance of that ever happening for me. I'd be better served worrying about something that could happen. I'll stick with wishes, I'm more familiar with those.
I wish for peace and loving compassion for myself and for all others. The world appears to be entering a difficult period for human beings. Without caring and watching out for each other the future will be grim. Humans tend to close up tight in an attempt to protect themselves and they build walls instead of bridges. They find enemies to focus blame and hate on when things get difficult. They reach out with greed and selfishness instead of a helping hand and grab with both hands whatever they can for themselves. I doubt the human race will survive with that kind of strategy.
