  hey fallyn. quite interesting. i think it's great to make goals in life. i remember i had this list when i was 14 of things i wanted to do.
   
  a few things that i remember were:
   
  -to go bra shopping around the world
  -go to the carnivale in rio de janeiro
  -create a fashion label
  -become fluent in french and japanese
  -learn to play guitar and drums (again)
  -become a professional dance teacher
  -meet David Beckham
   
  i guess most of those things are still the same. more goals would include:
  -becoming an ESL teacher and maybe one day running my own language school
  -learning photography
  -meeting Nelson Mandela
  -teaching my beautiful nephew life lessons such as music appreciation and beveraging (when he is a little older of course)
  -getting my tattoos and getting my dad to get his too
  -buying my dream home
  -getting married on a beach
   
  thats just a short list. i dream way too much to write down all my goals. but i think most of these goals are achievable. (probably won't get the chance to meet david beckham or nelson mandela but it's a beautiful thought).

  Hey Fallyn -
   
  I think you are off to a wonderful start here - I wrote my own list about 4 years ago.  Some things are really up there, even now, but not impossible.  The rest are things that transformed my life into something I could have barely imagined when I first began to admit what I really wanted. I wish you lots of luck and success in fulfilling your wish and dream list.
   
  The biggest limitations seem to start from within.

  now it begins! step by step, inch by inch. never stop dreaming, wanting! no maybes.... *smile*

  fallyn- Where to start? I think the best place to start is to stay busy. Think of the things you can stay busy at and you can accomplish something. It might give you a better attitude about placing a priority on those dream things. 

• Fallyn said on Jul 27, 2008....

  missmonash ...the go bra shopping around the world made me smile.
  oh...and with photography.......get a digital....and just start clicking. there are a few things you can learn in a class, but i've found most of it comes from just trying it.
  
  wishy.......i can dream huge.......that's not a problem......but how do you start making them happen?
  
  queen i don't know how to put my mind to it......that's what i mean......i don't even know where to start.
  
  memy, i need some steps!!! i'm not kidding, i really don't know how to start!
  
  beyond...but stay busy doing what??

  A wish list (which is similar to a goal list) is a good thing but at least it takes the pressure off worrying about not meeting your goals. 
  My needs are pretty much the same except for the kids part and a big house...I'm perfectly ok in the townhouse where I'm at right now.
  You could make a wish list and keep it handy and repeat it like a prayer...or even make it a prayer as in when you pray refer to the list and ask for it if it's within His plans for you.
  Other than that....do you know how to do Quilting? I'd think that keeps someone busy and you can even sell it on the net and make some extra money. One of the Soulcasters...(I can't remember right now who) put up a picture of a quilt that she is doing and it's awesome.
  That wish/goal that missmonash has about going bra shopping around the world sounds like a good idea for you.  You would also get to travel and see the world !
  
  I know that life is not easy at times and one has to learn to take it with a grain of salt.

  rolling, i have lots of stuff that can keep me "busy" but it's not fulfilling.
  mostly because i don't have a plan, and don't have an end goal in sight.
  when i sit down to paint.....i have paint...and an empty canvas....and i just start putting paint to canvas...and sometimes the results come out okay......but more often i'm dissapointed. because i didn't plan it out....and it turned out crappy.
  most of my life is like this.

  hi Fallyn, I just love this! You are dreaming big and it is inspiring! I think maybe the way to start is to make a list of what you can do "tomorrow" to create new beginnings for each one of those things on your list. Just one thing for each goal..wouldn't that be a perfect day? You will feel the satisfaction from having taken a step forward, felt rewarded by each thing you actually did (from seeing the reslts, or crossing a to do off a list)...and you will be well on your way. I often make a list for the following day...so that I can feel the accomplishment. good luck!

  oh my what a coincidence that after just writting how my wishes that i had written in a similar blog to yours had come true, the next thing i would read would be this!
   
  there is definately some higher power at work here at soulcast and i think they want me to tell you- that things will work out, to keep your chin up and carry on being your wonderful self!
   
  i hope you get all that you want im sure you deserve it!

• Fallyn said on Jul 27, 2008....

  mamie...that's kinda what i've started on today.....the first steps.
  it took a bunch of thought....but that's what i came up with......so often the first steps are so boring and tedious....so i figured if i can just spend a few minutes planning a path to the end....and then a few minutes at a time working on the preliminaries.
  
  i'm my own biggest enemy because i get bored and then it loses it's appeal.
  
  phie, thankyou so much. i appreciate your response.

  My main goal is to be officially recognized on my tax returns as, by technical definition, a fully-functional kitchen appliance.  I have a petition signed by both my refrigerator and hand-held mixer, and the microwave (once completely on the fence on the issue), now seems likely to come aboard as well.

  Fuck you, toaster oven.

• Fallyn said on Jul 28, 2008....

  *laughing* um.....well.....good luck with that.

• Mamie said on Jul 28, 2008....

  note to slacks: why not go for it? You could actually give it a go and be "mrPants"??
  so anyways, Fallyn, whatcha got shakin for today?

• wishyouwerehere said on Jul 28, 2008....

  Fallyn - One little step at a time - see if you can write interim goals for some of your more immediate dreams.  For me, grad school started by auditing a class, then taking one, then two ... etc.,  Five years later, career change ... and since then, more and more dreams!  You can do it! - Wishy

• Fallyn said on Jul 28, 2008....

  mamie.....weekly home blessing hour.
  i use flylady ......*shrug*  and then after that i'm gonna work on figuring out the smallest steps i can take to get towards my goals.
  
  wish......that's what i'm thinking, i haven't gotten it down on paper yet.....right now i'm working on the house keeping one.....i've decided it's a priority to fulfill all the other goals......the other goals will be so much easier with a clean house.
  
  AND....my kids are going to be here next weekend! YAY!!! and i want them to step into a beautiful sparkling house. i know they'll be glad to be home......but i want it to be exta specially straightened up and nice.
