Keep Moving Foward

In my efforts to wallow in self despair on how different my life is from what I THOUGHT it would be at this point in my life...I decided to focus on how different I want my life will be in the future.

To do that I have been researching making life goals so that I can find what is important to me and focus my energy moving towards those goals.

I found a site that asked the following questions:

1. How to I want to spend my time?

2. What daily activities make me want to leap out of bed?

3. What do I want to learn?

4. Who do I want to hang out with, talk with, collaborate with?

I haven't really answered these questions to my satisfaction BUT I have been able to start on my list of 100 goals that I think is getting me closer to the answers to the questions above.

They even have a model to show me how to combine the items.
