AMAZING THINGS I WANT TO DO IN MY LIFE.

  1. Travel overseas at least once every two years
  2. Be an amazing photographer
  3. Get married and have children
  4. Design my own house, witness its construction, then decorate it myself
  5. Become an excellent cook
  6. Write a book
  7. Embark on a road trip around Australia in a caravan, with tents, hammocks, musical instruments and cameras.
  8. Write an original song, play it and sing it.
  9. Learn to ride a motorbike
  10. Become good at one sport
  11. Learn to make my own clothes
  12. Live in another country for at least 1 year
  13. Win a large sum of prize money
  14. Become known for doing something really well
  15. Discover something amazing, like an underwater city or a new species of whales or a temple somewhere deep in a dense forest.
So there you have it. My list of amazing things I want to do in my life. According to the internet, I'm now supposed to pick one or two of those things and think about getting started on one of them. Apparently, once having done this, I'll have a new found confidence and purpose.

Let's see now.
  1. Yes, I could plan out the places I'd like to go in the next decade or so. That could work I suppose.
  2. I need to get an awesome camera first, and study photography.
  3. Um, yeah. I can't see this one working out anytime soon.
  4. Oooh! I could design my own house!!! That's a bit exciting.
  5. To be honest, I can't be bothered right now with this one.
  6. I've been waiting for a couple of years for a brilliant idea to come to me. I still am.
  7. Yeah, I need a caravan.
  8. I could do this, but I kind of don't want to. (:
  9. Sorta need a motorbike...
  10. I could research really obscure sports to try?
  11. Too much of a big project to start right now
  12. Uhhhh...
  13. Yeah....
  14. Ahuh...
  15. Hmmmm....
WELL! Aside from being rather pointless and a bit of a pain in the ass, writing that list and thinking about starting one of those huge projects on this very rainy afternoon made me feel more unmotivated and depressed than anything else, even if it did excite me just a little. Needless to say that this activity does not make me feel in any way 'confident', and why would it? It's just making a list of all the things that I may never be able to do in my lifetime, let alone right this very moment...

That's a big NO for activity number one giving me any kind of confidence.
