I was inspired by Jackson Rawlings’s article who was inspired by John Westenberg’s 100 Things I’m Going To Do With My Life

and decided to write my version, it does give you a sense of duty and purpose to forge your own path, rather than just following society. Somewhat a wake up call that if you willing to search inside yourself, what would be great, you’ll have a list of big audacious desire and why would you want to do anything that doesn’t get you to accomplish your list? your journey is just awfully hard as it is, without you goofing around and spending your time with things that doesn’t add up to your goal list. Let’s see how much i can accomplish from this list before 2018.
