Reach For Your Goals

Do you know who John Goddard is?
He’s not a film director or Hollywood legend but an ordinary man who has achieved extraordinary things in his life.
Quick bio:
One rainy afternoon an inspired 15-year old boy named John Goddard sat down at his kitchen table in Los Angeles and wrote three words at the top of a yellow pad, “My Life List.” Under that heading he wrote down 127 goals.
These were not simple or easy goals. They included climbing the world’s major mountains, exploring from source to mouth the longest rivers of the world, piloting the world’s fastest aircraft, running a mile in five minutes and reading the entire Encyclopedia Britannica.
Now, a generation later, he has accomplished 109 of these quests, and has logged an impressive list of records in achieving them.
Check out this video about him…especially at 3:48 of the interview.
Now this is inspiring!
Last month, I created my own life list with 127 goals…I’ve achieved four so far.
I highly encourage you take some time this week and create your own life list. Think about all those movie making dreams and desires I’ve had racing through your mind over the years.
Winning an Oscar? Put it on your list.
Directing a big budget Hollywood movie? Put it on your list.
Meeting Eva Mendes? Well, maybe not your dream but it’s on my list. Haha.
You get my point but remember what John said…make sure you put deadlines. To learn more about John Goddard and to see his original list of goals he set when he was 15 years old, visit http://www.johngoddard.info/
