How to give 1000 cheers
How I did it: I usually browsed through the Zeitgeist to find goals or "How to" entries to cheer.
After I got a few hundred cheers in by doing random cheering, I then started making it part of my daily routine to login and look for worthwhile things to cheer for or comment on.
If you've ever wanted to hone your follow-through, this is a good way to do it.
I took up this goal like I take up most goals in my life… completely underestimating how hard it would be, but then doing it in spite of the difficulty. To be honest, I would never have even started if I realized how long it would take. But I'm glad I foolishly tried and then stubbornly stuck with it, because I've gotten so much out of it! It's been a terrific mistake I'm happy to make.
Lessons & tips: This is the best meta-goal on 43things EVER!
It's gives you a way to encourage others, reach out and meet people, and it keeps you open to discovering new goals. Some of the best goals I've undertaken in my own life were things I discovered while cheering for others.
