My 43 Things

Found this great website! www.43things.com is an online community for goal-setting/ encouragement. I've had some of these goals for a while but the website itself inspired a few more. I highly recommend joining as it is free and a great way to think about where you want your life to go! So after creating a list of what I want to do in my life I decided to narrow it down and categorize the time frame I want to accomplish them within. Some of these are really nebulous goals but I feel they still inspire me. My next step will be to make an action plan towards reaching each of them that are clearly reachable. Hope this challenges you to define your life more clearly!
