Of course, as your post alludes to, they need to be my goals and not someone elses. (And that is easier said than done. Maybe that's why many folks don't follow through with goal creating.) I recently finished reading "Tuesdays With Morrie" (I know, it's been out for a while!) and found it gave me a very humbling perspective on what it really meant to live - from someone who was dying from a wasting disease (ALS). Then again, we all die a bit every day... Carpes Diem! regards mark mcclure John,

It is an amazing fact that most people never find the time to write down their goals. I'm hopeful that this simple "Top 5" list will give people a quick and easy tool to get it accomplished. When I went through the list I was able to complete it in about 20 minutes. Some of the items were tougher than others. At times, I found myself skipping ahead to fill in the easy ones, and then coming back and filling in the blanks. Once I had it done, I took different color highlighters and went back and found things that overlapped. This was the fun part. I took a yellow highlighter and marked things that I could do online. I then put the highlighted sheets side by side. It was easy to see keywords and concepts that popped out from the different categories. These keywords made it easy to craft a couple of action statements and then put together a vision statement. While I have had many of these ideas in my head, it was easy to put them all together when I could see them side by side. The whole process took less than an hour and now I have concrete action statements that lead to step by step achievement. BTW... great blog! John Thanks for the reply, Seeker.
