#10-completed


#10: Take a photography class~ I have been saying for years, at least three, that I was going to take a photography class. Well, I never did. Next semester turned into three years later. Tonight was my first class. Of course I had big dreams of winning the lottery, and attending art school to pursue this burning passion that I have for photography. I decided that although I haven't given up on those magic numbers coming up on my "golden ticket," I should start paving my road to success with the resources that are available to me right now! I absolutely loved every second of those first three hours! I hung on every word he said, and left nothing amiss in my notebook! I left with a smile, and a great feeling of hope that I can create my destiny!

The Project:

Have you ever asked yourself these questions?
1. Who do I love, and what am I doing about it?
2. Am I pursuing my dream, or is fear stopping me?
3. Am I doing something that matters?
4. What am I doing to help others?
5. Am I as good a person as I want to be?
6.What am I doing to live life with passion, health and energy?

I think we all have! This project is not my original idea, but is has inspired me to really take this one life that I am given, and live it with passion and without regrets! I think that we often let the process of life get in the way of actually living, and before we know it, there is no tomorrow to fulfill the dreams that burned ferverently in our hearts at one time. In the last year and a half or so, I finally began to live the life that I have been dreaming of. By that, I mean that I started doing things, experiencing life in a such a way that it created a hunger for more. So here I am, at the beginning of this journey, ready and excited to document all the joys and tribulations that may come my way in achieving these goals!

The Mission:Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria:Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on my part).

Why 1001 Days? Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple goals such as New Year's resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.
