Hey Joel,

I think you’ve already accomplished one of your goals.. to have a relevant blog, after reading only one post! I love your idea to shift the perspective on your goals. I too, have that list of things I want to have, but I think the better question is what do I want that i assume that certain item will bring? I LOVE that idea, and am going to work on making my list more active! Thanks for the great post.

What a great list, Joel! I think your goals are both worthy and achievable. Enjoy the journey towards them!

And welcome home, too.

WICKED.

Do it. Do all of it.

and so you know, having people in our lives who are actively contributing make us (at least me) active too. you are a muse of mine beyond words. looking forward to an august reunion.

Thank you so much, Matt. I’m glad it resonated for you.
And thanks for the punch in my relevant arm.
I needed to hear that.

Hey Joel,
I appreciate this post. I’m in a position right now where I find myself setting goals very similar to yours. I often fall into the trap of setting “to have” goals, and you’re point of making “to do” goals is more pro-active and …doable! I needed to hear this, thanks!

Btw, I think you have a “relevant” blog
