It is no secret to those who know me that I have some pretty intense ADD, when it comes to every day things and when it comes to life in general. I'm a dreamer, more interested in the next crazy idea I can come up with than with doing anything about the last idea I had. Having gotten this far into life, without getting all to very far in life, I've finaly come to grips with the idea that this is a flawed stratgey for succes. You can't just keep chasing the next big thing without ever having reached the last big thing, you just end up no where. Mulling this over has given me a lot of sleepless nights, fuled a lot of headaches, and driven me to do some real soul searching without finding too many answers.
Then I stumbled on the idea of having a Big Three. I sat down and really dug deep to come up with the three most imediate things I wanted in my life. They didn't have to be life goals, like retiring to the Hawiian Islands, but they had to be more than something I could finish tommorow, or even next week. These three things would be my filters, my blinders to keep me focused and moving forward. Without this sort of focus, I am sure I will continue to flounder.
So for now, here are the Big Three. I intend to write more about each one in depth and what I am doing to move towards them. I'm also hopeful to "tag" my blog entries with a Big Three label as I post them so in the future I can see how much of what I'm doing to get where I want to be.
Number One: Health and Fitness, you only get one body, best make the best of it.
Number Two: Success and Skills, I have a great job but in todays market to stay in it I had better be the best I can be and continue to improve my professional/technical skills, and move forward into multiple streams of income and entrepreneurship.
Number Three: Help Others, there are tons of ways to help people and I really come alive knowing I'm doing something that I think is meaning full. I want to be able to take my health and success and impact and improve the lives of others.
