43 Things I Want to Accomplish
by Ashley Kelly, Executive Assistant
Up until last year I never really had a list of goals that I wanted to accomplish (other than my life long goal to save up $2.5 million and live off the interest for the rest of my life). I mean there were those school assignments where teachers made you list a short term and long term goal and mine were always Short Term: Get an A in this class, Long Term: Graduate. (Clearly I didn’t invest much though into it.) Life changes so fast, who knows if what I want to accomplish today I’ll still want to accomplish a week from now… much less a few years from now.
So last year, with the help of a friend, I hammered out some goals that I wanted to accomplish. None that would change the world for the better, but simple things like Learn to Surf, and Get My Motorcycle License. Some I accomplished, some I didn’t, but this year I plan on adding to that list… and for that I’ve turned my sights to 43things.com. Here you can list 43 things that you want to accomplish, keep track of your progress and cheer on other people as they do the same.
I thought that finding 43 things I wanted to accomplish in life was going to take a while but I found myself reading other peoples goals and thinking “HEY I WANT TO DO THAT TOO!” I’m up to 40 and am trying to choose my last 3 wisely. I may never Drink A Guinness in Dublin #27… but here’s to trying!

I love this site. I’ve actually accomplished a few things from it and it serves as a non-annoying reminder of the goals I have for myself this year. It’s neat to read about other people’s goals, what they’ve done to accomplish them and why it’s important to them.
What goal am I on now? #16 Roll Down a Grassy Hill with a Friend.
Tough to do in Florida, but fun overall.
Good site!

I have already accomplished your #16. St. Augustine is a great place to accomplish that goal. On the lawn outside the fort!
