"He who deliberates fully before taking a step will spend his entire life on one leg." ~Chinese Proverb~ |

I'm the type of person that makes lists for everything. I've even been known to categorize my grocery lists by aisle, so it's really no surprise to me that my life's to-do lists eventually came to be. I don't like to think of my list as "things to do before I die", I think my list is more about making sure that I do not forget what is important to me while I am alive. With so many distractions and responsibilities in life it is too easy to lose sight of what really matters. The reality of it is that if we don't make an effort to experience the things in life that inspire us we will spend our entire lives focusing on the trivial things. The items on my lists are either goals I am working to achieve or sources of inspiration in the world around me. My life's lists serve the same purpose to me as my grocery list; my grocery list helps me to remember what I want from the store to save me countless trips...my life's lists help me to remember what I want from this life while I am still here, and for all I know this is a one time deal. |
