The 30 Before 30 List (TAG)
The picture says it all. I am blessed beyond measure to be granted another year of life. Since this is normally a time to reflect on ones achievements up til now, I decided to reflect on what I want out of life. Time to spice things up and push myself to my limits. That is why I created this list of 30 things I want to accomplish by the time I turn 30 years old. While you are reading be mindful that this is not your ordinary 30 before 30 list. This list is tailored to my personality, and my personal and professional goals. Some of these items are well within reach, other are a stretch, while some are far fetched because it occurs every so often. So here I go off to add exciting chapters in my book of life. Remember, "One day, your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching."
By the way: This is a TAG, meaning the people mentioned at the end of this post are encouraged to make their own 30 Before 30 list and share it.
