Daily Update!

WE HAVE BUTTERFLIES!!! That is sooo cool! This is one of my Life List goals, and it was a lot messier than I thought it was going to be, but it is soooo cool to se my little butterflies flying around their habitat!!! YEAH!!!

Anyway, I have been working on getting through the book Success Principles by Jack Canfield. The book’s tagline “How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be” is really what drew me to this book, but let me tell you, this book is such a GREAT resource!! I am taking the book chapter by chapter and trying to get each idea into practice before I move onto the next chapter, which is making for a long read, but at the same time a LIFE CHANGING read!!! I have started mind-mapping this morning, which I think will really help me because I am so visual; it just puts everything I want in perspective! I will have to take a picture of today’s mind-map tonight and I will attach it to this post so you can see what I am doing. Last night’s chapter was chapter 19. “Use Feedback to Your Advantage”. This chapter is going to be pretty hard for me to put into action. I am not sure I am ready to hear feedback from others, but I am going to take a leap of faith and just throw a couple of questions out there – “How do you see me limiting myself?” and “In your opinion, how can I be a better (insert role here, ex. friend, wife, sister, etc)?” Scary, but I will let you know in the next few days how that goes!!!

Anyway, I am determined to be on time this morning, so I am going to keep this short!!! I will talk to you later!!! 🙂

A New Plan!

Good morning!
It is officially the first day of the rest of my life today!!! Actually this morning is the 10 year anniversary of my mother’s death. I know that sounds rather morbid, but really it is my motivation to live, live, LIVE!!!

I have spent the majority of the weekend working on my new life list! I have sooooo many ambitions that at times I just get overwhelmed and end up doing nothing!!! So, I have started to to read, for the third time might I add, Success Principles by Jack Canfield. I LOVE this book! but to be completely hoest with you, I have never had much luck following through on what I was reading, so I have decided to change that! This time as I read this book, I am stopping at the end of each chapter and making sure that I get each of the action items completed before I move on, and I would like to share my journey with you!!!

At last count, I had 614 items on my life list. I know that has since changed because I keep adding to it! I am determined to fill up the cool  Real Simple Card Wheel that I got the other night, just for this purpose.

Well, there are 75 pages with a little less than 10 goals per page, and I almost have the entire thing filled up. I may have about 40 more goals to go!!!
Anyway, In Success Principles, the are basically 7 life areas that you need to know what you want to do, be and have. Those areas are: health & fitness, work & career, relationships, personal goals, finances, community, and recreation & free time. So I am going to choose one goal for each of those areas and take the necessary steps to accomplish those goals. Once a goal is completed in one of the 7 areas, I will fill a new goal into that place until the whole life list is done – however with so many goals on my list, I may not be able to die until I am somthing like 348!!! Ha! Ha!!!
Anyway, I am going to post my 7 category goals in the side bar, as well as work on posting my entire Life List there as well so you can see where I am at in my progress!!!
Have a FABULOUS day, I hope to hear from you soon!!!!
