Hi Robert!
I received your e-book, have read it, printed it off, and it is great! thank you so much!
Wow - I was surprised at how much I struggled with coming up with that many goals. I honestly don't think that I have ever allowed myself to really think about it. I know that sounds really dumb, but it is sadly true. I have set and accomplished many goals in my life and have reached success in different areas - and I know that people have regarded me as such a person (not being egotistical at all here.) But most of those goals were set to "overcome" something and face a life challenge (a lot of them were "survival" goals but they made me really strong and self-aware) - except for the first one which was determined at the ripe age of 18 - to become a symphony musician. That one was accomplished with a great devotion and passion that stemmed from purely a love for music. When life's traumas started to happen - I changed, had to change in order to get through the difficulties. But now it is time to get back in touch with the way that the 18 year old self dreamed and envisioned things. I know that the goals may not be the same but I want to dream about goals with the same amount of passion - not fear or base my goals what constitutes a "practical" goal. You have helped me to do that.
Hope you don't mind me sharing these reflections with you. Please know that I appreciate your responses very much - but at the same time, I don't "expect" them. It's just nice to bounce them off people such as yourself who have geared themselves to thinking and acting on these wavelengths.
If I may, on a personal note, my husband and I are awaiting the arrival of our first baby (under 2weeks away - eek!) And so I am home now with lots of time to reflect on what I want and how I want to be as a wife and mother and individual. I want this baby and my husband to see the "real" me - doing and living life to the fullest - someone who is "tuned" in to my dreams and aspirations. This baby is inspiring me to think all these things through and be the best, happiest, and most fulfilled person that I can be - and it hasn't even been born yet. What a little miracle it is already...
Thanks you so much for listening!
Sincerely,
Melissa
