What Are YOUR 2009 Goals? Think BIG!

Well, 2009 is finally here and, as is customary for me, I’ve built my first MAGIC Hundred to coincide with Jan 1st which means it’ll end on April 10th.

Sounds like a long time doesn’t it? But it’s not, especially with the goals I’ve set myself this time around.

I’ve been thinking VERY big this time - as you’ll see from the list below- and have set many goals that are way outside of my comfort zone, knowledge base or previous experiences.

But that’s the point right? : )

After all, as I’m always saying, if you want new things in your life, you’ve got to DO new things in your life, right?

Or put another way, if you keep doing what you’ve always done you’ll keep getting what you’ve always got.

So, the list is big. Massive even.

But boy, is it inspiring to me even to think about how I’m going to accomplish it!

You’ll notice that each section has some massively challenging goals as well as some more ‘simple’ ones.

In the adventure section I’m talking about flying to the edge of space, doing oxygen assisted freefall jumps, running marathons through deserts and more.

Believe it or not, I’m not an adrenaline junkie in the true sense. I feel fear like anyone else and the thought of some of my adventures both excites me and grips me with fear at the same time.

But I’m doing them because I want to grow as a person and experience more… a lot more!

In the education section I’m looking at learning new skills for my business, my profession and life in general.

Some, like learning to play guitar from a rock or pop star may seem obvious challenges whilst others may seem strange or just silly.

Like reading Roald Dahl children’s books.

I’ve included this in my education section because I’ve decided that certain elements of my life have become too serious, I’ve become to ‘grown up’.

So by reading this great books from my childhood, masterpieces all, I’m hoping to relearn that childhood wonder, excitement and sense of fun that all of us lose throughout our lives.

Only time will tell if my theory is correct, but it certainly won’t hurt, right?

My Health and Fitness goals are all pretty obvious but nevertheless, include some goals that are, even to my ears, are downright crazy. Like 100,000 pushups.

That’s 1000 pushups a day for the duration!

Why did I choose that? I don’t know, it just came to me as a gut feeling, so I trust it and will ‘go for it’ nonetheless.

Likewise my ultradistance marathon of 250km across the Atacama desert in Chile. I don’t even enjoy running! I know, weird huh? : )

My financial goals are MASSIVE!

I’ve never set such aggressive goals for my finances before. I have no precedent for most of them and don’t even know how I’m going to make them happen, I just know that I’ll be taking action on multiple fronts at once and breathing life into ideas I’ve had for ages but done nothing about.

My Relationship goals are all designed to reconnect me with the most important people in my life and show them that I care.

Like most people, I often get caught up with ‘busyness’ and forget to show my family how important they are to me. I’ve taken a lot of action over the last few years to improve this, like regular, long vacations, giving up weekend work and working from home 2 days a week but this round of goals will make a fair impact, I’m sure.

So look, read through the list below and by all means, feel free to share your thoughts about my 100 days of MAGIC.

I hope that, in some small way, they encourage you to think bigger about your own goals and give you the confidence to go for what you really want, rather than settling for the mundane or the ordinary that most people tend to.

The way I see it is that 100 days are going to pass ANYWAY regardless of what goals you do or don’t set, so why not set them big and go for it?

Go on, share your big goals… I dare ya!
