What goals would YOU want to achieve in your lifetime?
I got this from Jack Canfield’s blog towards the end of 2016.
He asked that you make a list of 101 goals you’d like to achieve in your life. (I wonder why 101 and not 100). Be as specific as you can. Include such details as when they will happen, where they will take place, how much money you’ll make, what model of car you’ll buy, what size it will be, etc.
Then keep your goals somewhere you can review them often. That might be a deck of 3”x 5” cards you shuffle through every morning, a poster or piece of paper you hang on the wall beside your computer, or in a book you read each night before you fall asleep, etc.
By keeping them top of mind, you’ll be more likely to make them a reality.
And when you achieve one of your goals, strike it off the list and celebrate that success! Celebrating past achievements will motivate you to do the others.
Travel
I will travel to the following places:
(List countries/cities/towns you had already traveled to for pleasure or business and the locations you plan to visit. Jack had gone to 50 and conducted seminars or given speeches in 47 of them and plans to go to 25 other places.)
I will visit and see the following sights:
Examples: Disneyworld, The Eiffel Tower, The Vatican, The Taj Mahal, The Great Wall of China, The Great Pyramids, Machu Pichu, and The Terracotta Soldiers of Xian in China, etc.
Adventure
I will:
Examples: Climb on a glacier in Alaska; Go fishing in the Northwest Territories; Go on a safari in Africa; Become a certified scuba diver; Snorkel in Hawaii; Learn to sail; Skydive; Ride in a hot air balloon; Go on a river-rafting trip; Go kayaking; Attend Vic Braden’s tennis camp: Fly in a glider; Dive in a submarine; Learn to windsurf; Learn to ski; Ski black diamond level; Ski Vail, Aspen, Beaver Creek, Sun Valley & Jackson Hole; Ski in Europe; Explore all 5 of Hawaii’s islands; Swim with the dolphins; Go to the Super Bowl; Go to the Rose Bowl; Go to the Final Four College Basketball Championships; Go to the Olympics; Take one of my sons to the Olympics.
Personal Achievements
A handful of the over 100 things Jack listed are: Write a best-selling book; Make one million dollars in one year; Build or buy my dream house; Own a Mercedes or Lexus; Write a children’s book; Have $3,000,000 net worth when I retire; Learn to speak Spanish fluently; Learn to paint with oils; Publish a poem; Type 50 words a minute; Take the Landmark Forum Training; Create a dynamic coaching and training community with 500 or more members; Live to be 100+ years old

That's a very good idea. I have never wrote my goals down with pen and paper. I will do that. Thanks for the idea.

Gee whiz we are in the last quarter of 2019, 2020 looms large, planning is well advanced.
I think the most important part is to write down our goals and aspirations.
Your post was a good reminder, Akoli.
Yes, Alex, I thought it was time to remind people about their goals. I hope you're going to write yours.
