The Challenge 101 Goals in 1001 Days

Over the past year my life seems to be drifting, after much soul search I find there are things I have started and never completed and there are things I have wanted to do but never started. So I have derided it is time to bring some focus into my life, and I am taking the day to day challenge of 101 goals in 1001 day.Unlike the New Year gaols 101 in 1001 is base on 2 years 8months 26 days, yes I know its sounds completely random, but that's the beauty of this time frame but:-

• It gives me time to achieve each goals and beat procrastinations
• it helps me to be accountable and prioritise my time 
• It helps me to develop my talents and grow as a person
• It helps me to develop my relationship with my friends, family and community

Coming up with 101 gaols has not been easy, this has been achieved through checking out the list generator on Zero One website and other members who have taken or are taking the 101 in 1001 challenge. Writing down my goals made them more tangible and sharing them with you and others on Zero one website instills a sense of accountability and hopefully will help motivate me. Some things on my list may seem rival and others may seem out of reach, but none are unrealistic, each goal poses a challenge in staying the course, if it were all easy it would be no challenge or fun

I have tried to categorised the list and will post a blog of some of the goals I have achieved. Do come along for the ride, I will need your support, your encouragement and your comments.
