I don't know how many of my goals I will accomplish - some of them may be loftier, and much more difficult to achieve than others. I may or may not finish everything (or nothing) that I aspire to in this list. In the future I may delete some of my goals because they do not appeal to me anymore. I may also add new things I would like to do in my lifetime as I discover new things to do and places to visit. I may forget all about this list like I did with my previous list. Only time will tell.
What is the point of this list, you may ask. Let me make this clear - this is NOT a bucket list. There are too many things to do and discover in the world, that I could never have a bucket list that was finite. I see this list as reflecting my place in life today. It is a collection of things that I want to, would like to, and can do, given the resources (time, money, energy) I have. Also, making the list has helped me discover a lot about myself - sometimes one doesn't know what they want, until they think hard about what they want.
