Today is my 23 birthday.  I have received many birthday wishes from so many people and could not be more appreciative.  However, when my birthday comes up I tend to think about where my life is going to be in a year, 3 years, 5 years, and even 20 years.  I cannot control what will happen in my coming years, but I have created a list of 23 goals that I want to achieve sometime in the future.  Some of these goals are short-term, while others are definitely long-term.  Not matter how long it will take to achieve these goals, I am determined to accomplish them.

Here they are:

1. Get a new car
2. Get toned
3. Get a new swim suit(s)
4. Try sushi
5. Get a new computer
6. Travel
7. Hike to upper Yosemite falls
8. Read all the Nicolas Sparks and Mary Higgins Clark books
9. Run a full marathon
10. Graduate from the Woodbury University MBA program
11. Finish my book
12. Start my retail business
13. Expand my business consulting services
14. Pay off my student loans
15. Get my own place
16. Buy a house
17. Get married
18. Get my Ph.D
19. Have children
20. Teach entrepreneurship at a university
21. Save up enough money to pay for my youngest sister’s college tuition
22. Expand my philanthropy for my Alma Mater Woodbury University and other non-profit organizations
23. Create a scholarship fund for students who have lost a parent from prescription drug addiction

I encourage everyone to create their own list of goals and try to accomplish them!  It doesn’t matter how crazy your goals seem, if you work hard enough it is possible to achieve them.

Please tell me about some of your goals in the comments.  Would love to hear what others want to accomplish.
