Ever have a moment of fantasy? Ever have a moment of fantasy where you stop yourself, talk yourself back to reality, and tell yourself that it will never happen? I took a workshop recently called Getting Things Done, and part of it focused on making a list called Someday/Maybe. The idea was to write down the big dreams, because one day they may move to your To Do list. Here are my ten reasons to always have something on that Someday/Maybe list.
I’ve got two big items on my Someday/Maybe list. Accomplishing them would put them up in the top three things I’ve done with my life. One I’d like to happen within two years, the other within five. One sort of will be a catalyst the other but they can happen independently. One has lots of dependencies. One has none. Both are scary and exciting and require me to test my own limits. Both require lots of conversation, planning, and luck. Both require a leap of faith and a realization of failure as a possibility. That’s ok. The risk is worth the reward.
I’ll let you know if and when I move these two items from my S/M list to my To Do list. When those dreams manifest into reality, I’ll prove to myself that my accomplishments and blood, sweat, and tears (because they’ll be required) were worth it.
