There came a point in my life where I had to make a decision, either I continue to live a mediocre life or I commit to my personal growth and consistently seek out the best version of me.  That decision lead me to a promise, a promise I made in 2008 to seek out my fullest potential during my time here on earth.  What I’ve learned is when we open ourselves to new possibilities we experience internal greatness and that internal greatness expands our universe to the things, people and places that align with our authentic selves.

I’ve always loved creating all kinds of lists, lists of people I want to meet, places I’d love to go and things I desire to have, but it wasn’t until recently that I shared them with my friends and family.  By doing so I cracked open a little more of who I really am with the ones I love all while being held accountable and motivated to cross off my accomplishments.  So I’m taking my list sharing to a whole new level of accountability and revealing my adventure life list with all of you.

I’m still a work in progress and there is so much to learn from all of life’s experiences but this journey,  I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

So here you go, 30 fun adventure goals I plan on accomplishing over the next 4 years of my life.

Will you join me on the journey?
