A Year in Reflection + Goal Setting for 2011

by Matt 3 Comments

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Okay first off I should warn you that this post is around 1700 words. I seem to be writing longer posts than usual over the holidays. I like it but I don’t know if you like it. I wrote a guest post for another site the other day and it was around 1900 words! This post is basically a summary of accomplishments from 2010 and a summary of what I want to accomplish in 2011. I’d also like to hear what some of your goals are in the comments. It’s good to lay them out for others to read. It makes one feel a little more accountable.

So before we launch into the New Year with resolutions a blazin’, it’s a good idea to sit back and reflect on the year past. Review all the accomplishments you’ve had and go over what went good and what didn’t.

Congratulate yourself on all the things you feel you accomplished and most importantly, learn from the mistakes. Have some long-term goals in mind as well so you know what each little accomplishment is really working up to.

Consider writing down a lifestyle change you wish to make on top of the specific goals. For example, rather than just writing “quit smoking”, write about become a healthier person and living a healthy lifestyle. This means quitting smoking, becoming more active, and eating healthy.

Now to reflect on 2010. [Read more…] about A Year in Reflection + Goal Setting for 2011

Vagabonding: Living the Choice of Freedom & Adventure

by Matt Leave a Comment

Since my 6 month journey down under, I can’t seem to picture my life without the constant curiosity and adventure of long-term travel. Life will never be the same for me. I will never happily be able to ride the migratory route to work each day, live in the same community my whole life, and partake in the everyday average hobbies and activities that have become continuous out of simplicity and habit.

I’ve always wanted to come up with my own term for what I do and the way I feel on the road but really it all comes down to the notion of vagabonding.

Vagabonding, by definition is: (1) The act of leaving behind the orderly world to travel independently for an extended period of time. (2) A privately meaningful manner of travel that emphasizes creativity, adventure, awareness, simplicity, discovery, independence, realism, self-reliance, and the growth of the spirit. (3) A deliberate way of living that makes freedom to travel possible. [Read more…] about Vagabonding: Living the Choice of Freedom & Adventure

When Whales & Humans Unite

by Matt 4 Comments

I just heard about this story a couple days ago and thought I would share it with you. The amazing story of the encounter between people and a humpback whale near San Francisco.

The whale was following its typical migratory route when it became tangled in hundreds of pounds of crab lines causing her to struggle. As she struggled to become free, the lines became even more tangled around her body, tail, and around her mouth. The lines were becoming so tight around the whale that they were cutting into the blubber and leaving marks in the skin. The whale knew it was in trouble.

What Would You Do If You Were Guaranteed Success

by Matt 7 Comments

Seriously, what would you do?

As easy as this question comes off, I have found it pretty difficult at times to answer. Sometimes I really know what it is but other times I’m undecided. Part of this is because of my interest in so many things.

I honestly love acting and if I could be guaranteed  leading roles in comedy flicks, that would be one option. I also love blogging and online entrepreneurship. I seriously love travel. The list could go on.

The trick is, at least for myself, to blend them all into a viable business or focus on one and keep the rest as hobbies.

I think lot’s of people are in the same boat. In fact, I know many people are in the same boat. Many people complain about their jobs or careers because they are not fulfilling. Something is missing. What most don’t do is try to solve it. You don’t have to own your own business. Maybe it’s as simple as working for a different company. Maybe it’s a different field. Maybe you just need to infuse some passions into your current work or business to make it more fulfilling. Maybe you just need to focus on more passions outside of work.

Lesson From a death & a Reminder of How Fragile Life Really Is

by Matt 9 Comments

I’m participating in a program right now called Unique Genius. Aaron, the creator of the program just sent me an email about his girlfriends close friend who just passed.

His girlfriend luckily got a chance to say goodbye and hear some of his parting words:

“All you have are the memories and experiences and love….”

Making friends on the road – Adventure 2

by Matt 1 Comment

New Zealand was amazing. The country was quite different from my Australian journey because my cousin was with me the whole time. I always had a best friend with me. Someone to enjoy the travels with and reminisce about the memories down the road.

We traveled the whole country from South to North in just three weeks. It was tough but we actually got a lot accomplished, including a couple three day hikes. When we had arrived in Wellington, we stayed at the local YHA hostel as we didn’t feel like searching around this time for smaller local ones. YHA hostels are typically quite nice and this one was right near the waterfront. (tip: when in Wellington, check out the museum. It’s free and one of the most interactive museums I have ever seen) [Read more…] about Making friends on the road – Adventure 2
