Think It, Write It, Achieve It

      I've always been a goal writer. Something about putting it on paper makes it seem so much more real, as if seeing it written down makes me feel like it will magically just happen. But let's be honest, realistically just writing it down makes me want to work on it more to achieve it. I have been able to accomplish so much over the years by just putting my dreams on paper. This coming year in 2014, I am finally going on my long awaited dream of a trip around the world. I wrote this goal down back in 2007 and have never been able to forget about it. So in less then 37 days I will be taking off for a trip all around Europe with a stop off to Marrakech, Morocco. I wouldn't call this a New Year's resolution goal, it's more of what I like to call a "before I die" goal. I think using the beginning of the year is just a good timeframe to write the things you'd like to accomplish in the next few years down on paper or what I call my "dream book". 

    For years I have been jotting down my goals/dreams in the back of my calender book I carry around with me each year, but with all the new technology now I just started using a journal book I downloaded for my IPad. I love that I can put pictures in it to personalize it to look all artsy fartsy and reflect my personality. Whether you'd like to believe it or not, those that write their dreams and goals down and look at it throughout the year, are much more likely to make it happen. It can be kinda magical! 

   For 2014 and 2015 I am hoping to accomplish a lot of financial growth by just plan paying off ALL my credit cards. Of course this has been a goal of mine for the past five years. I see some progress happening slowly, but I'm about to get aggressive with it. I think everyone has this one written down somewhere. So here are some that you may NOT have written down, that I hope to make happen for myself in the coming years. 

1. Get my California license so I can make a ton of money. 

2. Buy an RV to travel and live in as a gypsy

3. Finish up remodeling job so you can rent out extra room to other gypsies

4. Find a good online program to further my education

5. Go on Asia Around The World 2015 (save $$ for trip)

6. Get your butt to Alaska!!!!!

7. Publish book
