We all have goals. Actually, we all have a vague idea of what we want from life. But do you know what you want, what you really really want? Probably not.

If you ask any expert about achieving, they will tell you to work out what you want. Make a list of goals. Some say 10, 25 or even 101. I attempted this exercise, and you know what? It is actually really hard! I decided to start with 50 because as time moves on, I’ll probably think of other things to add to it. This is just some of an ever-expanding list.
This list was made at the start of 2018. At the end of every year, I will check off my latest achievements.
Those in bold have been completed and I’ve noted the year that I completed it.

Update- So, 2018 saw me complete a couple of things off my list, which is pretty good. I wasn’t planning on completing the list in one year (even I’m not that crazy) but it is good to see that a few things have been ticked off already. But, I’ve decided to add a few more on for 2019 after working what my goals are for the year ahead and becoming inspired by other people wanting to try new things for 2019.

How I like this idea, draw up a list of wishes and slowly observe how much and how you can achieve it, it is also a spur to not give up!
You have some really nice goals, most of them achievable. I have lots of degrees and they don’t really help me with anything. But they did provide me with the uni life experience, which was cool. Driving a motorbike is so beautiful, I love being able to do it. I am still considering of buying one of my own, haha.
Great kind of thing you want to achieve. Don’t push that much yourselves if you don’t achieve some of it. Try to gain it without rush.
What an awesome list. Sometimes writing everything out is the best way to really see the plan you need to put together to get to a certain goal. I obtained my BA online. It was the best choice I ever made!
These are such great goals for a bucketlist. Its a good mix of simpler goals to make and ones that will require alot of effort, but if you put your mind to it you can get there!
I’ve always wanted to do a list like this, but I’ve never actually done it. There’s a lot of cool stuff in that list. I’ve always wanted to write a book. Need to take the time to make it happen. Time goes by so fast!XOCandacehttp://www.thebeautybeau.com
I think it’s good to have a goal list. I have a few things written down but they are just for this year.
I love your list! I hope you get to do them all. I’d love to make a list too.
Wow! You are pretty ambitions! Go for it. Congrats with a book last year. I am sure you will love everything you do in this list and more
Fantastic goals you have and how you put it in bold what you have accomplished. It makes me ponder about mine now. 🙂
These are fantasic goals to achieve for in life. I’m currently working towards my bachelors; not sure if I want to get a masters or not. Buying a home is also on my list. We currently rent, and love it, but someday I want to buy our own place.
Amazing life goals. I love the fact that all of these sound achievable, practical and realistic! Thanks for the inspiration!
There are so many life goals I’d like to reach myself. Some are written, others I have in mind.
What a great idea and a diverse list of goals! All the best for smashing them this year!
it’s always a great idea to have goals in life… your 50 are great and I hope you accomplish them…I find a lot of your goals for this year to be similar to mine ; )
This is an absolute goal list! I would really love to get a Masters, though it is kind of like a long process since I have get to get my Bachelors, but it’s still a goal!
Such an ambitious girl! Great goal selection and I notice you’re already a super achiever!
I love your goals. They are awesome. Glad to know that you achieved some of them already. I also would like to learn to speak in french. Thanks for the great inspiration.
These are amazing goals. A charity video with a popstar sounds ambitious but I love that it’s include in this list!
Life is all about trying new things and even though we will try to do it all, life is short and you just won’t. So live everyday like it’s the last! 🙂
