Last year I told myself that I would do two things. The first had to do with finding direction. This was the theme of 2010. It was an exploration to what lies at the root of who I am. This involved training as hard as I could to prepare for this season, so that I could find where my heart was in regard to sliding and my future....I love sliding and I always will, but it seems that as I come into 2011 I have found my answer.
I need a new environment, I need new challenges, I need new people, I need new loves, I need new passions, I need to ramp things up a notch and execute.
Your past experiences prepare you for your future and the key is to keep the ball rolling. Its like a snowball, as it rolls down the hill it picks up more and more snow ( experience ) and speeds up...it rolls easier and easier, faster and faster....this is life. Keep the compound effect going.
I am no longer challenged in my current state, I need to enter an existence where true failure is more of an option, where I am challenged like a vine in a marginal climate to produce the finest fruit...Game on.
My second resolution for last year was to teach myself italian. I spent every blank moment of the last year studying Italian and I am making great progress, so much so that I should be very comfortable when I arrive in Italy in September for harvest.
So what are my resolutions for 2011??? First I need a few glasses of Cabernet and then ill give it some thought :)
All of my best
Caleb
