I have never been the kind of girl that would write lists of short and long term goals. It has never been my thing. I’m more of the spontaneous kind. I think of something, maybe give it a second thought if it is of great importance, and just go! I always thought life is just too short to have everything planned.
But life, you see, life is just funny that way because I kind of like lists now. They make me feel accomplished once I cross the items off. Who would have thought that making lists would make me, well, happy!
So here’s my list of what I hope to accomplish in the near future and I hope that soon rather than later I can start crossing things off.
UPDATE (7/6/2010): I first started this list titled “Hoping to Cross Off” in hopes to keep myself motivated and accomplish them. I decided to join the many who create the 101 in 1001 for the same reasons.
- Blog every day for a month.
- Book twenty weddings.
- Book twenty children shoots.
- Book a wedding in another country.
- Buy the Canon 5D Mark II.
- Buy two prime lenses.
- Frame photos for my house.
- Master Photoshop.
- Join a photography network.
- Attend a photography workshop.
- Get in shape (like with Shakira’s abs and all).
- Buy a house.
- Get another dog.
- Get a wedding featured in a magazine.
- Get a wedding featured in Style Me Pretty.
- Attend a workshop by David Jay.
- Buy my own car.
- Learn how to bake Dominican cake.
- Learn ways to improve my business.
- Employ a second shooter.
- Finish all the books on my reading list and start a new one.
- Become a faster reader.
- Become a runner.
- Finally learn how to play my guitar.
- Become a better writer (my second love).
- Be more kind.
- Pray more and believe.
There are tons more and eventually I will add to it. This list will serve as a reminder of where I am and where I want to be. Frankly, I’m very excited. I love it when life feels right.
