My father has taught me many valuable lessons, most I didn’t realize or want to believe how good the advice was until years later. The importance of goals was one such lesson. Not merely establishing them, but writing them down and reviewing periodically. For many years I didn’t do a very good job at following through, but have gotten better as I realized how important they are as milestones are reached, bigger ones can be created.
This particular list contains some things that are on my personal goals list but most aren’t and doesn’t contain anything I have already done (at list currently). So without further a do, here is the beginning of my life list…
1. Visit all 7 continents
2. Sail around the world (or at least across the Pacific or Atlantic)
3. Attend an Olympic event
4. Re-learn to play the piano
5. Publish a book
6. Own my own business
7. Scuba the Great Barrier Reef
8. Be in fluent in at least three languages (English, Chinese and Spanish)
9. Cherish my soul-mate each and every day for the rest of my life
10. Attend my 20-year high school reunion in better physical shape then when I graduated.
11. Ride the Trans Siberian railway
12. Participate in building a Habitat for Humanity home
13. Run a mini-marathon
14. Renovate a home
15. Blog at least weekly
Well, that is a good start… More to come.
