I haven't really looked at or worked on anything on my list for some time. While it's in the back of my mind and I'm periodically reminded of it, it's just not something I think about. When I do look at it, I wonder just which parts of the list I'm actually going to accomplish. There are three things on there, in particular, that I think about changing from time to time. The first is "Meet Glenn Beck". I still think it would be really cool to meet Glenn, but I feel like my priorities in life and my focus has changed since I came up with my list just a little over a year ago. Last year I was a Glenn Beck nut. I rarely missed his show and read every one of his books. But something changed in me the last part of the year and I just stopped watching. I still think Glenn is a great person, that America needs people like him who are not afraid to speak out, and that it would be a neat experience to meet him. However, it just doesn't feel like something that should be on my list anymore.
The second is "Read a Biography on Every US President". I love history. Don't get me wrong--it's my passion and what I majored in in college, but for some reason this goal just seems so daunting and I can't even get excited about it. I don't know how many times I've tried to sit down and start a biography but it just doesn't appeal to me.
The third is "Get My Master's Degree." Again, at this point in time, this goal seems very daunting and I don't know if it will be accomplished. Things have changed so much in the short amount of time since I wrote my list that it makes me wonder if I'll be able to accomplish this before I'm 30.
I don't yet know what I'll replace these goals with, if I even do. I do know that it would be ok for me to change the list because I've pretty much made up the rules for this game anyway. Goals change as we change and sometimes we have to re-evaluate where we are headed and what we want to accomplish along the way.
