Although it may seem a bit off-putting to share your own ambitions, the ideas shared by others can be a source of inspiration. 43Things (http://www.43things.com) is a great site for keeping track of lifelong goals.

I've found that what was once "ideal" was more "real" than I'd initially thought. That kind of thinking can hold you back - it can show you're not willing to take risks. I didn't define real because it's all a matter of perspective...what is real to one might be not so much to another. I think the key is to push the boundaries and see what you can do; by putting a list together - far-fetched or not - is a great springboard for that to happen. Thanks for reading and the comment!

I have what I call OPGAs or Ongoing Personal Growth Areas that I try to work on at all times. I don't like resolutions because self-growth for me isn't dictated by a day of the year. I like the way you distinguish between being an idealist and a realist. Great job. Best, Bob Hi Mike,
