The three most important decisions you make:

• Your partner or who you marry
• Your career
• Where you live

Sometimes the city where you live is also determined by where is you work or where is your partner.

I enjoy thinking about my life goals. Every day I review them and make adjustments to my yearly plan. About 6 years ago I made a list of all the things I wanted to do and accomplish in the future. I’ve been updating that list ever since and I review it every day as it helps me keep focused. I wish I had started this sooner.

To define goals I use the following checklists:

Life Goals:

• Things I want to do/accomplish
• Things I want to have
• Places I want to visit
• Things I want to learn
• Activities I want to experience
• People I want to meet/say thanks to

Areas:

1. Finances: Income, Give (Donate)
2. Exercise
3. Living Environment
4. Relationship
5. Family and Friends
6. Work
7. Learning: How many books I want to read
8. Career: Which certifications I want to get
9. Mentoring
10. Blog
11. Travel and adventure

One thing I’ve learned is that the order in which you pursue your goals is just as important as the goals themselves, and this has nothing to do with priorities, importance, or dependencies between the goals, it’s about increasing your chances of succeeding in accomplishing your goals. So, next time you are thinking about some goals for the year, think also about the order in which you will pursue them.

I used to think that I was able to call “home” wherever I was, until one day I realized that “home” is where the heart is.

Home is where my heart is. It’s the place that calls me and where I feel really happy.
