A little over a year ago, I was thinking long and hard about my life; where I was, where I wanted to go, how I wanted to get there, and what I could do to make a difference in people's lives. I wanted to do great things with my life and make it an extraordinary life. Using David Allen's Horizons of Focus, I was thinking at the 40,000 and 50,000 foot level. I thought my journey towards an extraordinary life would be fun to document and that the things I was doing and going through could possibly help others. This is why I started this blog. While things started well on my quest, the day-to-day, or Runway, activities took over and next thing I knew, a year passed, and my goals and plans had not been realized.
Don't get me wrong, great things happened to me over the past year:
- I got married to the most wonderful woman and mother I possibly could have found
- I became the step-father to two all-around beautiful, twin girls
- I made many new friends, both online and offline
- I re-connected with some old friends
- I have expanded my comfort zone and done things that I never thought I would do
- I was promoted to a job that I truly enjoy
- I am enjoying life and I am as happy as I have ever been
My goal for the next year is for the list of great things that happened to me to double or triple in size. I not only want great things to happen to me, but I also want to help more people achieve great things in their lives.
Please join me once again as I re-start my journey towards an extraordinary life.
