Introduction

I’ve always been a goal oriented person. I’ve been doing public shared goals for close to 20 years now and I’ve never managed to hit 100% on these goals (I think 70% is the closest I got).

As I stared into my fifth decade on this earth I wanted to come up with something other than my usual goals. Something that would be really challenging yet fun and interesting. I started out with my usual set of annual goals but then added blocks of challenges, activities and things I’ve always wanted to do. For a midlife crisis I thought this wasn’t too bad – I mean, I’d like a convertible sports car too but for now I’ll focus in on trying my best to hit 100% on my goal list this year.

This blog is not meant to ‘go viral’ or ‘generate content’ it’s a check for myself to see where I’m at and also help me write more (something I’ve always enjoyed). I’ll share it like I do my goal list and I’m sure once the initial curiosity is over I’ll be the only visitor but that’s OK (besides – blogging and sharing the experience is one of the goals, so it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy)

Without Further Ado – here’s the list of 50 things I’d like to accomplish in my 50th year (personal/medical goals are redacted for privacy)
