I've been reading a book that says having more goals means you'll have a more enjoyable and successful life. And that you should start by making a list of 100 goals, then go to 500 then ultimately 2000 or more. That's a lot of goals!
They can be small ones like learn to bake a cake and big ones like climb Mount Everest .
This works for two reasons:
1.) how do you know what a successful and enjoyable life means to you without ever sitting down and thinking about what you want in detail
2.) your mind works with images, the more images you have the more your brain can let pass through its filter (Reticular Activation System)
So now my goal is to list 500 goals. Things I want to be, do or have over the next 30 years. Then I'll go for 1000.
My question is how many things are on your goal list and what are some of them?
