Who do you really want to be? Revision 2.

To move forward in my quest to figure out who I really want to be I need to start working on some of the items on my list.

I firmly believe that I have a better chance of succeeding if I keep things easy so initially jotting down ideas/tasks is a good way to start.

Who I really want to be (version 1.2)

Social
  • Happy, someone who finds it easy to smile
    • Figure out what keeps me from smiling
  • Thoughtful of others
  • Honest, caring, and supportive person
  • Enjoy more of the simplicity of life
  • Plays board games with the family
    • Buy some board games and pick a game night
  • Have a down-to-earth group of real and honest friends
    • Attend more events / join more groups to meet more people
  • Spend more time nurturing relationships
  • Easily know what is important
Financial
  • Work less
  • Financial independence
  • Debt free
    • Make an appointment with a Financial Planner
  • Home owner
    • Talk to a broker to know where I stand and project a time-line
Health
  • Physically fit, regular physically activity
    • Join a gym
    • Get a trainer to set up a program
  • A member of a casual sports team
  • Swim more
    • Join local leisure center facilities that have pools
    • Plan once-a-week swimming with my little one
  • Practice Yoga
    • Join a beginners class (perhaps at the same local leisure centers)
  • Less illness
Goals
  • A decent fisherman
    • Purchase fishing gear
  • World traveler
    • Purchase a world map and plot places I want to visit
  • Find a calling/charity/cause to be fully passionate about
  • Read more books
    • Read at least 15 minutes before bed every night
  • Music lover
  • Play an instrument
  • Worry less
  • More time outdoors
I think that's a healthy start.  As a "todo" list type of guy I'm excited about my new tasks.  I plan to cross off items as I complete them and, as always, continue to evolve my list.

Until next time...
