Shoot for the Moon Goals for 2013

I decided to look back on my adventure goals for 2012 to see how many I got to do. I didn’t do them all but I also had the added bonus of many adventures that were not on the original list.

I would not have dreamed that I would have been able to be able to cross off so many in a year.

I’m going to continue to add items to the list because even though I didn’t do all of last years, I still have so many incredible adventure memories shared with my family and friends because I set goals and took advantage of opportunities to accomplish them.

So here is the start of the running tab. I reserve the right to add to the list as my curiosity continues to become aware of new places and experiences to try.

Some are way more ambitious than others, but I figured I might as well go with the quote:

“Shoot for the moon and if you miss you are still among the stars”

Travel wise I would love to go all over the world but I’m willing to start a little smaller. The list could really go on and on…….this is just scratching the surface . So I guess this is my start but I don’t ever want to stop adding.

 

Remember a “Goal is dream with a deadline.” Don’t let time get away from your dreams.

“If you want to do something bad enough, you will find a way, if not you find an excuse.”

 

What’s on your “shoot for the moon” list? What should I add to mine? Who wants to join me?
