Do you put “have fun” on your to-do list?
As part of my yearly goals, I create a list of 25 adventure experiences, God willing, that I will accomplish during the calendar year. I call this adventure list the “Live the Pursuit of Growth 25,” or LiveTPG25 for short. The rules for my list are quite simple. I ask myself, “What cool things do I want to experience this year that will provide joy, excitement, accomplishment, and lifelong memories?”
Creating an adventure list can help you tap into the creative part of your mind that inspires your dreams, motivates your inner child, and enhances the excitement and fulfillment of life. Once you’ve created your adventure list place it somewhere that you will see it every day to foster inspiration to put your ambitions and plans into action. The key is to approach your list with the same intensity as any other major goal you’re pursuing. Plan, execute, and enjoy! As a bonus, ensure that many of your adventures involve family and friends.
