I abandoned my ‘goal’ of leaving Mombassa in the quickest time possible and changed my goal to what was actually happening in my life – In effect, I made my goal, ‘meet great people, learn Swahili and wait for my part to be fixed’. I was able to achieve this goal very enjoyably - not because it was easier or less desirable than my previous one, but because it was what was actually happening in my life, rather than what I hoped was happening in my life.
