Just a Short (thought provoking?) Post!

A friend of mine pointed something out to me this week about The List - it seems as though I am trying to get things settled by August with this list... I couldn't agree more.  So I want to reflect on this a little deeper.

I created The List because I've been in a slump lately with all areas in my life.  When I go through these times, I usually focus on the "what's to come" rather than the "here and now."  And I think I idealize the "what's to come" because I see an end to the slump.  An almost ideal future.

So I want to step back with some of things on The List.. Some of the things on my list aren't meant to be accomplished by August.  And I've known that.

Obviously, I'm not Doctor Who, nor do I own a TARDIS (+100000 to those reading this and understand those references!), so I can't travel to the future.  There's no way of knowing that I will accomplish these goals by August.  I put some goals in The List as something to think about and work toward, whether I accomplish them by my birthday, or not.  They are just great things to work on for life!

I also want to point out that I made The List public because I have those friends who will point these out things to me, and hold me accountable.  And challenge me!

So to my friend who talked to me earlier this week - thanks!  I know you're one of my biggest supporters in my life, and I expect you to keep challenging me! (I hope I am challenging you too!)
