What is on your life to-do list?

Had a conversation about this today and it got me thinking of the realistic things that I want to accomplish before I die, or can no longer follow through with due to age, illness, etc…

If there are things that you’ve already done, put them on the list and just note that you did accomplish those goals.

Mine, for now…

  • Live in Hawaii - Done, twice.
  • Skydive - Done
  • Learn to surf - Done
  • Run a full marathon
  • Learn to play an instrument well (I hate that I don’t have this done yet. And I’m kicking myself now for not staying with singing)
  • Learn to fly a plane
  • Visit China, Japan and Thailand. (along with other countries in Asia if possible)
  • Completely build my own form of transportation. (be it a race car, motorcycle, whatever)
  • Have children, obviously
  • Completely change someone’s life for the better. (possibly done, but unknown to me.)

I’m sure there are things that I’ll think of later, but for now these seem like attainable goals for the average person.

The key word is attainable. Don’t tell me how you want to have a threesome on the moon.

-Run a successful company with at least 20 employees.
-Travel to Europe and Australia
-Be elected to public office
-start a family and buy a house
-Donate a fortune to charity

I guess those are the big ones right now.

  • Run 9’s with a NA LS1
  • Start my own consulting company
  • Travel to Alaska
  • Completely restore a Chevelle on my own
4
  • Gain more muscle mass / get in better shape
  • Run a successful graphic design / marketing firm
  • Buy a decent house
  • Find the right woman and move out of WNY
  • Travel to France, Italy and Amsterdam
  • Camp out in the British Columbia rainforest
  • Have a real vacation in a tropical location

All that comes to mind now.

I too don’t really have any kind of list. Basically I just want to be happy and feel a sense of accomplishment. I’ve completed so much already. It may not seem too big to other people but where I’m at is leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of my family. My mother and I are the only ones with college degrees.

Now I no longer work for anybody but myself. I simply want to make enough money to pay my bills and enjoy myself.
