Living Life to the Fullest 2011

December 28, 2010
The Goals: 
  • Spice up my life
  • Post photos, videos and journal about the things I accomplish.
Reason:
This has everything to do with living life to its fullest. I haven't allowed myself to do that, and this is the time to change that. Life is precious and short and I want to experience as much of it as possible. I've wasted too much time worrying about what I don't have, and not taking advantage of what I do have: time.
Some of the items are quirky, some are religious, some are crazy. The point of the list is to try new things, grow as a person and HAVE FUN. There are more than 67 items, because I figured I could be more successful if I had more things to choose from.Whatever isn't accomplished by June 5, 2012 will be carried over to the next year of my life.
Things purposely left off the list, which I don't believe will ever appear on any of my future "Living Life to the Fullest" lists, include: swimming with sharks, sky diving, and bungee jumping. This list is about living life, not ending it.
Anyone who wants to join me on these adventures is welcome.
