I look at it as something to remind me where I want to go so I can seize opportunities or work on the next thing when there's room for it in my life. If any of it is out of reach, at least I'll go someways that direction and have enjoyed trying. As for choice... yes, I believe we should have intent behind every little thing we do; from climbing a mountain, to eating, to listening to someone. It helps us to live in the present and appreciate everything! My list has many things that I’ve touched upon, and enjoyed, or been inspired by.

A Renaissance-style list, that; Michelangelo would be proud. (Tho' one can only speculate on the street fighting, of course...) Have you photos ready for exhibition yet? A lot of great venues here in Belfast! I think there's a difference between 'needing more' and choosing to move on to the next thing - for me it's all about choice. (Whether we're talking mood management, reacting to external circumstances in life, taking action, etc.) If you feel a constant need to be moving on to the next thing, there's a danger you might not be appreciating where you are - but if you appreciate the now and are moving to the next out of choice, that's healthy too. And it's all cyclical, I believe! Enjoying some down-time today myself (and doing that 'gratitude' post tomorrow) - really enjoying reading all these comments!

Paraglide Wingsuit base-jump Create something useful Plant a forest Be effortless.

And yes - my next post is going to be on appreciating what you already have! No point constantly striving and creating goals if you don't take time to just smell the flowers... (I took the perfect picture for the next post doing just that in Botanic Gardens, earlier this year. Literally smelling roses. :) ) Have a great all-day jammies day with the lovely family - sounds brilliant! Aww, lovely comment Catherine!

I am so lucky to have a lovely wee family, a pretty fab extended family, some cracking friends, a job I love and a nice home to call our own. I spend too much time looking for the next thing that I miss the little joys right under my nose. Of course there are many places to go, things to see, people to meet but for this coming weekend we are having an all day jammies day with the kids, which frees up a lot of time for cuddling and being silly!! Outer Mongolia on a yak will have to wait...they expect you to be dressed properly to ride a yak!! My goal is to just be content with my life in the here and now.
