My Bucket List

As part of putting together my objectives for next year I decided to finally write my first 'bucket list'. Inspired by Steve Scott at http://www.stevescottsite.com/5-steps-for-creating-your-perfect-bucket-list.

As Steve mentions...after writing this I realised that it's all really about me...but I guess that's what it's all about! However, I do care about everyone
around me and if I am happy then that should reflect in my relationships with other people too :o)

It is worth while doing a bucket list, I now I have a clear, black and white list of all the things that I think are important. Now every time I do something or make a decision I can compare it to this list and see how it helps me to work towards my dreams, goals and desires.

The next step is to figure out how I am going to achieve all of these things and I will talk about SMART objectives in a future post!
