goals

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams — live the life you've imagined."
-Henry David Thoreau (July 12, 1817 – May 6, 1862; born David Henry Thoreau), American author, development critic, naturalist, transcendentalist, pacifist, tax resister and philosopher.

I wrote these goals about four years ago. They are all still relevant and very much reflect who I am, how I see myself, and how I want to live my life. Much has changed since I wrote them, and I added one today to acknowledge the most important shift in who I am.

It's time to celebrate the fact that I'm living the life I've imagined.
  • Leave a legacy— make the world better for having been here.
  • Be rich in experiences and friends.
  • Live passionately, joyfully, and without regret.
  • Expand my worldview— live abroad and travel extensively.
  • Seek knowledge — constantly take classes and surround myself with interesting and intelligent people.
  • Achieve balance in all areas of my life.
  • Strive to be healthy — physically, emotionally, and mentally.
  • Take risks and be more spontaneous.
  • Enjoy the present— be here in the moment, doing this.
