Just added a page to the blog with some of my favourite quotes – things I’ve come across over the years and stuck with me.
“A year from now you may wish you had started today.” – Karen Lamb

100 Things I Will Do In 2010 – July Update
by A Man Reborn on Jul.16, 2010, under Motivation & Goals
I haven’t been keeping this list updated monthly like I said I would… mostly because I’ve been busy doing the stuff on it :D
I have no idea if I’ll finish the list – at this point it’s halfway through the year and I’m just over a third done. No matter what, I’m having a blast and expanding my horizons and that’s all that matters as far as I’m concerned. Having this list around has given me something to shoot for, something to push me a little more and something to branch off into other fun things to do. I’ve got an Evernote document with a increasingly massive list of things I want to try / accomplish now. Some of them are simple and some of them are outlandish and I know that every year I’m going to repeat this process and pick out a bunch of things that I want to take a shot at.
As my good friend Carolina told me tonight – “why lead a boring life, do EVERYTHING”. I want to do everything. There’s so much to see, smell, hear, taste, touch and experience in the world and I want to do all of it or at least give it my best shot. I want to create more – I am often most content when I am working on a craft or project of some kind.
“I say never be complete. I say stop being perfect. I say let’s evolve.” – Tyler Durden – Fight Club by: Chuck Palahniuk
I am happy and content with my life, yet I am not content at all. I’m really not sure how to articulate that feeling. All I know is the spark I feel and the smile on my face when I’m trying something new. Anyway, on to the list! (continue reading…)
