On one hand, ...Life lists are so conflicting to me. On one hand, I think it's great to think about what you want to do with yourself and put together goals. On the other hand, life lists (or 30 before 30 lists) tend to be really long and all-encompassing. And I look at them and can't help but think, how on earth will someone accomplish everything? For me, life lists don't work. Living life does. So, if you spend the next six months really living and embracing life ... then, I say you've succeeded, even if you don't cross even one more thing off your list!Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-4277370800872946742010-08-18T21:49:27.112-05:002010-08-18T21:49:27.112-05:00You're doing so well!

Honestly, if the only thing on my 26 before 26 list was "learn to knit socks" I would be thrilled, socks should count for five or six items, they're hard!<br /><br />And I had a body analysis done last year. It was really fascinating but kind of depressing lol I can do without being told to lose 10 lbs by anyone. Especially on a cruise with a very yummy buffet ;)Kyla Romahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15522259960482023707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-11270018820350527252010-08-18T19:30:25.044-05:002010-08-18T19:30:25.044-05:00I think the thing to remember about goals, is just...I think the thing to remember about goals, is just that, they're are goals or something to strive for. Even if you don't complete them all, just the fact you worked your way towards them is way counts.

However, I agree just making it through the first few months was an accomplishment in itself.

I pretty much decide on impulse, and then make it so that it would be difficult to back out. Example the ATL 13.1, I knew I wanted to do another half just wasn't sure when or how so when that opportunity came along I made sure I had a place to stay and signed up for it. That way I would be out $$ if I backed out.Charbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023222309412936172noreply@blogger.com
