I have the same goals every year:

1. not waste a single day in a bad mood or complaining about things I have no control over (e.g. USA, Palestine, Islamism, taxes, stupidity).
2. bring joy to those around me.
3. comfort those who are unhappy.
4. willingly accept all tasks that the universe offers me. Even if they are problems. Every rejection only leads to bigger problems.

I don't have to memorize this list every year because the required behavior is now part of my personal inventory.
