Making New Goals

"If you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else." ~Lawrence J. Peter

This saying is so true. Its true for me, anyway. For many years I've lived life in a lost sort of way, I've just done things on a whim, enjoying life in the moment. In a way, its the best thing to do...but one can end up quite lost--like myself. I think living life in the moment so that you aren't disappointed that your plans don't work out just like you want them to is great. But I think one must have goals as well, in order to, at the very least, keep yourself on track!

So! With the inspiration gained from some of my friends I'm composing a 30 before 30 list. In essence its a list of thirty things that I want to do before I turn thirty...that's in a little over three years, YIKES! I better get crackin!

4. Write my novel.

5. Finish my novel.

Painless enough! Some of them I have doubts, but there's a lot of them that I CAN do if I just put my mind and hard work to it. Feel free to compose on of your own!
