live my life by answering this question every day: "what would you do if you knew you could not fail?" (read all 8 entries…)
If I could not fail...

this opens up such possibilities.

learn Spanish
start a small business
ride a bull
talk to my mentor honestly
cook dinner for friends
interview for another job
talk to someone I didn’t know very well but whom I liked
tell people how I really feel about things
take a class that challenged my abilites

that’s a good start.

Added January 29, 2007

my start date. I’ll have to think about this and see where it takes me.

Another opportunity has arisen!

My friends are returning to the Grand Canyon and I was invited again! Yeah. I will be heading to Phantom for another long weekend in February. I wonder how different the trip will be? I will hike in different boots so I don’t get massive blisters. I’ll have more gear since it will be colder. What else will be different????



exercise 5 days a week (read all 5 entries…)
This is my life...

Last entry – May! Arggg. I need one goal to work on, not 43. I have been walking more but I am no where near exercising 5 days a week.

I walked today. That’s once this week. What will tomorrow bring?

Whoops, missed this goal!

Looking over my entries, I started posting in Dec. 2005. So that means that I haven’t managed to accomplish this goal since it’s now January, 2007. I’ll keep this goal for another year since it can’t hurt me to strive to change.

It's all kind of hazy.

I don’t think I have accomplished what I wanted from this goal, which is to be more positive about people. So I will give the $100 to charity, after I figure out which one I want to give the money to. I will keep working on this goal and I will make my next challenge shorter (since I can’t figure out how to undo a challenge goal).

Brownies! Yum.

I had some excellent brownies today. They make a great lunch.



Take a vacation by myself.
Do it!

Go away for a weekend or even overnight. Just get out and do something by yourself. You’ll learn a lot about yourself and interact more with other people.



Hitchhike
Definitely not worth the risk.

Unless you are someplace where you can bet that it’s pretty safe (a road that only goes one place, or a safe country), it’s not worth it. Better is to ask someone for a lift if they are headed your way. That way you have more control on who you get a lift from.



eat at sonic
The hamburger was TERRIBLE!

We threw ours out. Their ads are nice and make you want to eat there but the few times I have, I have been extremely disappointed.

This is proving impossible.

I think that once again I have too many goals and this is fragmenting my time/focus. So, I need to reevaluate if this is a good approach for me or not.



Learn how to cook rice
Inexpensive, good, easy.

This is one of the first things I learned to cook since it is inexpensive and I love rice. Water, butter, salt and rice. Boil, turn down the heat, and cook until the water is mostly gone.

Eat with a little butter and sugar or just butter. Yum!!



fire a gun in a shooting range
It is fun.

And it is a safe, controlled environment. I recommend taking a gun safety course before shooting a gun.

Success.

I complimented someone at work when I was talking to someone else. I met with someone who I didn’t think I could work well with and (surprise) he has been very pleasant to work with. I told a coworker about this, and a few other people.

Lunch, birthday cake and a long talk with a friend.

It was a good day in spite of starting off poorly. There was a meeting at work that annonyed me because I get tired of my coworkers complaining. But things got a lot better after that so this was a good day.

How do you stop challenge goals?

I haven’t met my challenge goal so I want to stop this one and pay the penalty. I guess I just “give up” on this goal and then add it back to my list.

I cooked last night and grilled tonight.

I even used herbs that were home grown. Yeah me. I made a lime/rosemary chicken. Pretty tasty. Next I’d like to make a meal instead of making just making one or two items. That will take some planning on my part.



Prioritize, Focus & Follow-Through (read all 10 entries…)
Prioritize!

I want a new job at work so I need to make this a priority. Here is what I want to do, have a new job by the end of March. That should be enough time for them to get their act together and for me to grease the skids to get a new job.

I got an award at work.

It was for something I did a while ago but it was stil lnice to be recognized for the work. And the award was even presented in person. :)

Thanks!

small meals but it's a start.

I cooked twice this weekend. Nothing fancy, but at least this has me in the kitchen again. I am still trying to determine where everything should be to make cooking easier.
