101 Goals!

This week I went to see Jack Canfield the author of "Chicken Soup for the Soul" speak in Salt Lake City. It was amazing and he was amazing. I was able to meet him. I shook his hand and thanked him for the inspiration of his books. I was able to go with a friend which made it even better. Everything is always better when you share. I had a great time. If you ever have the chance to go see him speak, jump on the opportunity. It will be well worth the effort. Did I mention I only had to pay $15. Wow!

Anyway, he taught many important and amazing things. Some I already knew that he expounded on or gave a new perspective of and others that I hadn't heard before. One thing that I am writing about today is his suggestion to write 101 goals that we want to achieve before we die. Kind of like a bucket list. After all, a goal that isn't written will only be a fantasy. He also said to read it frequently and to share it with others. He said when you share it with others; you give people the opportunity to help you achieve them. So today I am sharing my goals with you. They are in no particular order. Being the over achiever that I am there are a few more than 101 so bear with me.
