<\/p>\n

\u2018This is your life and it\u2019s ending one minute at a time.”<\/em><\/p>\n

– Chuck Palahniuk<\/p>\n

Sorry to bring up the issue of death! <\/strong>I know most of us would rather ignore this inconvenient truth but I prefer to embrace it. You see the advantage to having your immortality bubble burst is that it injects a sense of urgency into your day to day life. No longer can you afford to waste time watching Friends re runs on TV, getting annoyed about that person who cut you up on the freeway \u00a0or maybe even working a job you don\u2019t like.<\/p>\n

The clock is ticking and unless you eradicate all activities that are not, in some way, connected to your higher purpose, you might find yourself begging for extra time when the final whistle is about to blow.<\/p>\n

To avoid this happening, I\u2019m presenting you with a list of life goals like no other.<\/strong> This isn\u2019t your typical \u2018travel to every continent on the planet, learn to play at least one musical instrument and sky dive out of a plane\u2019 type bucket list. While these are all great conversation starters, they may not stretch you enough or prompt you to think about the legacy you want to create.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why each one of the following seven is designed to provide both a direction for your life and a means through which you can develop yourself towards achieving it. \u00a0So print the list out, keep it somewhere prominent, and watch your life transform as you tick each one off.<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Achieve the Impossible<\/h2>\n

All you have to do to achieve the impossible is;<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do something other people said you couldn\u2019t do.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Or<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Do something YOU believed you couldn\u2019t do.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Whether this means leaving the security of employed work and setting up your own business, undertaking an extreme physical challenge or overcoming a fear, addiction or hang up that\u2019s been holding you back for years, achieving the impossible is one of life\u2019s ultimate tests.<\/p>\n

      Do it once, and you\u2019ll want to do it again. Keep doing it and you\u2019ll realize that most of the limitations we\u2019ve been conditioned to accept simply aren\u2019t real.<\/p>\n

      2. \u00a0 Gain your Financial Freedom<\/h2>\n

      Does the need to make money prevent you from doing what you want with your life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

      For most of us, the answer is a resounding YES!!! If this is also the case with you then there are two means to gaining your financial freedom.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Make enough money so that you are not obliged to work.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Or<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Work a job that you enjoy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Gaining your financial freedom through the first method involves either;<\/p>\n
