A Life worth Living
Lately, I’ve been motivated to write out a time line and plan for pursuing and achieving my dreams. I’ve found this to be quite an inspiring task. More than just goals that seem achievable given the adequate time, but Dreams that seem impossible that require more than oneself to achieve them.
I have begun this process of mapping out a life worth living and I believe it is an asset to anybody who wants their life to be more than mediocre, more than just good, but great. You need to dream big! I have started with many dreams, yet a good number of my “dreams” are still just goals. There are some things I want to accomplish before I set out too far in my endeavor (which has already become a 30 page document) like working on my self discipline, and developing my quiet time with God. I believe that if I try and supersede these things I will likely fail. Like how can I follow through with out a more self disciplined lifestyle, and if I haven’t given it to God?
So far, using a neat strategy, I have been able to wake up with the alarm at 6:30 on the first alarm, changing from barely waking up at 8 -ever, helping me on my way to both of these goals. Soon the time is coming when I will use these new strengths to achieve what might seem impossible.
As I proceed I will keep you up to date, and provide more information on developing a life worth living. If you want a better understanding at what it takes to make dreams become a reality read Steven K Scott’s Mentored by a Millionaire - simply brilliant.

Hey Jeremy. Good to hear things are looking up for you goals-wise. Setting goals is hard, and they’re difficult to actually go through with, but it’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot more and thinking to work out for myself. I set a load of New Years resolutions, and so far the project is actually going pretty well haha. The struggle, of course, is making sure our goals aren’t centered on ourselves, but are facing outward–focused on the world around us and on our God. Take care, friend.

I think it’s important that when you plan out your dreams, or set goals, that you share them with a mentor, or an accountability partner of some sort. You also need to keep them close, and look over them often. Something that definitely will help is breaking it down from dreams to goals, goals to steps, and steps to tasks so that each small increment is easier to reach.

Hi Jeremy,
I may be interested in purchasing some of your photos of fountains (as seen on flickr.com). I would need them to be printed in Black and White, to be framed (I will do myself), and need to be about 18″ wide by 24″ long. How much would you charge per print, I will need 4 different shots.
