Finished the list, now let's get to work

After what felt like a lifetime ( it was more like four days) I finished my list. Oddly enough, once I got to 85, goals just started pouring out. Even last night I was dreaming of new goals to put on the list. Interesting!

But now, the job is not done. You see, when you make a list of goals, you have to start working on ways to achieve them. You have to create an action list, transport it into your daily to do list and get cracking. What have I achieved today, at 9:44 AM?

I know there is laundry to be done, a house to clean, things to arrange, but to me, right now, the most important goal is to learn as much as possible. To build a business the way I want it, I have to start with a business plan that will serve more as a storyboard. This is what I want and how I want it to be. Then, I will have to make a list of the tasks that I have to do to make it so. And as I go building my storyboard, I am studying and analyzing the experts, to see what they did and how they did it. I am looking for ideas to bring to my project and make them part of my strategy. I AM READY!

I want a business where I can teach people what I am learning on my journey. Two months ago I said no more soda. I have not being perfect. I've had some soda and a couple of ice cream missteps, but I am still trying. And the one thing I discovered is that those things I felt I needed to sweeten my day (like the ice cream and the soda), I don't need them anymore.

Little things like that will make for an experience that will transform my life. Every little bit helps. I hope you never stop trying.

Keep trying.

Still working on that list of goals

You would think that wanting so much stuff, filling a list of 101 things you want before you die should be easy. Well, it is not. After five days, I only have 66 and some of them are downright dowdy.

I do have some lofty goals and ambitions, and some silly but cool ones, but I cannot, for the life of me, think of more than 66. I could separate every country in Europe and add about seven or eight individual goals, but that would defeat the purpose of goal #40, live in Europe for a year. When I wrote that I thought about being the nomad, spending a month in each country, traveling by train.

So many things I want to do with my life, but when I am asked, so many becomes not enough. I would think that having anything you want, no limits, would be so great that I would make the list in an hour. It is, in reality, so overwhelming, after five days I am still 44 goals short. Anybody has any suggestions?

Keep trying.
