A Top 50 List Of My Achievements

Here is a list of 50 things I’ve achieved, which writing in itself, is an achievement! (Which is why that is point 50 on my list!)

(Update 2021: This is one of my very old posts. For my latest work click the home button.)

I came up with the idea of writing this list not to satisfy my ego and show to people ‘oooh look what I’ve done’ but more as an exercise at looking at which areas in my life I have focussed and created a outcome as a result of dedicated and directed energy!

In addition to that as I perused my list afterwards I realised that each of those items within the list required some different skill or mindset.

What I encourage you to do is write a list of your own and once you completed your list I recommend that you look over it and extract the skills and mindset tools you used to achieve each one and then look at how you can take those tools and apply them in areas of your life where you feel you’re stagnating.

Go on, give it a go, and enjoy the results and let me know how you get on with your list…maybe even post it in the comments! 😉

Oh and lastly, I encourage you to find 50. I promise that if you dig deep you will easily reach the 50 mark even if in the beginning you struggle!
