be active in my life and not reactive

It may sound like an odd goal but sometimes (actually most of the time) I feel like I am just going though the motions of life and just existing. Nothing much seems to change like groundhog day and I am aware enough to know it is I who controls my destiny and I need to live and not mearly exist. I need to set goals and stick to them, to climb out side my box and create new experiences and not just wait for them to find me.
