2011 Goals

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.

I'm going to use this post to list and track my goals for 2011. The list is ambitious, possibly just beyond reach, just like every list of goals should be. I had lots of fun looking back at my life goals from time to time and contemplating which of them I could attempt this year.

A journey of a thousand miles...
