Lists!!!

I am trying to think how do i put this into words. My thoughts seems to be firing in all directions and i cant seem to compose it into a hopefully short and sweet blog post.

Well a friend and i had a heart to heart a few days back. We shared our insecurities and we basically had a good chat. She is at a point in life that many of us have been or will be at someday. She was trying o figure out what she wanted to do in life. My first suggestion, why dont you make a list. It sounded like the most logical thing to suggest. I make lists, that is me! you ask me to do something i plan it out and i start always start by making a list. She told me she is hesitant about making a list as if its on her list she must do it and fears she will put something she might not really want. I have a friend who cant sleep until he finished all his tasks for the day. I used to give him a hard time as i could not comprehend it. That statement from her was an eye opening moment for me indeed.

I wrote lists all my life, sometimes I do all that was listed at times, sometimes i didn't. But that is the thing, a list is nothing bit a numbered row of statements unless you actually do them. Only then they give you a sense of purpose an direction (which was why you wrote it in the first place). She inspired me, i wrote a list today like i always do. What is the difference you ask? I did everything on my list today, because i was determined to do so. A few hiccups along the way (that inevitably altered some tasks) but it was a good day =) muchos gracias '
