live an extraordinary life

How can I fail with friends like Liana to cheer me on. I am extraordinarily blessed.

I’m making a renewed effort to be clear about exactly what I want out of life. It’s falling into 3 areas mostly.

Being clear about where I what I want will help me get there even if it is one step at a time.

I need a holding peg hammered into the rock face.
Something to remind me what I’m aiming for instead of what I’m drowning in. (wise advice from MBF)
So I look at my 43 things list and see a selection of the fabulous things I’m working towards and the extraordianary people I’m heading there with.
It helps to see that I AM moving forward and that there IS prgress … and even if progress is slow the company is bloody marvelous.

I don’t say that to be smug – some of my life has not been this way at all. It seems churlish to not enjoy life when it’s like this.

I’d obviously like to keep it improving and I think working towards positive goals both personal and in groups is a fantastic way of growing and encouraging the good in my life. I’m very lucky to have such a wonderful group of suportive friends who want to grow and improve too. That in it’s self is extraordinary.

I’ve been looking through my list here and trying to work out which bits I’m working on and which I’m being lazy with so I’ve split my 43 things in 4 groups – I’ll help me see over time how far I’m pushing myself.

Group A: Working on hard – 11 things on my list
Group B: Plans put in place for the long term – 8 things
Group C: Not started on yet – 18 – I’m less impressed with this
Group D: Not able to work on, these just need to happen – 6

When I begin to talk about the life you’d like to live – the extaordinary one with the deeply satisfying work and the loving relationships – my brain begins to throw in all kinds of ideas of it’s own about how to get there.

It’s a very neat trick!
