Your 100 List #inspo

The 8 Goal Setting Areas

In order to assist you in creating your list of 100 goals you want to achieve in your lifetime, I have created a list of eight key areas that cover most of your life. Please ponder these areas and review some of the goals that people have listed down in their list of 100 goals to achieve before you answer these questions for yourself. Here are 50 thought provokers to assis you in creating your life to do list.

1. Family & Friends

These are the dreams and desires you want to achieve with the people who mean the most to you. What would you like to achieve for those people you value and want to add value to, as you live your life? I believe it is important to have people around you to share your successes and assist you when you have set backs. Hence it is critical to have goals that include, involve and impact your family and friends. As always, these goals make you feel better, but also make those people around you feel better for knowing you have achieved them. These achievements are all part of your legacy and living a life that is outside of you.

This is not necessarily about lifestyles of the rich and famous, but it could be for you. This area involves two parts … the first is what you give to yourself and your family in the way of gifts, rewards and quality time. The second is what you give back to yourself.

These are the goals that recharge your spirit, your purpose and soul.
