Yeah i am really excited about it. It will be my reward after a long hard day of work. It's a great way for me to get familiar with myself. Vienna sounds fun too. Maybe after this project i might have no problem applying the same concept to vacations internationally. :-D Best wishes in Vienna and have loads of fun.

Lola that sounds like a great idea. I will be starting a blog, but i didnt think about posting a few things here. I'll get back to you with my first expereince.

I am trying to burst your bubble; I don't see how planning 112 vacations will help you out.
Go to a few of those places you most want to and just have fun.
Even if you're sure that this goal will help you out right now, you'll realize that in a couple weeks you won't have improved your life at all. Doing that takes hard work but actually pays off. |
Lespauldude...i appreciate your opinion, it hear a lot of pessimisism. Your right about not being absolute...that is a habit i am trying to break (and for watever reason if all 112 places do not end up happening...then i will be even more dissappointed since i put it in a absolute...so i will not be doing that.) I STILL plan to try my best to check out all 112 places (to me its not like taking 112 vacations, just going out 112 times. ) Who doesn't like to go out, well I do at the least. There are some personal goals i have that will challenge some of my negative patterns and I can gain a lot of self reliance from this project ...the KEY Is to do it all by myself. I am not sure if you read the blog above... but it goes in details in how this project relates to my goals. The main concept behind this all is to learn about the things that i like and dont like (if i go to the places i just like then i won't learn about the ones i dont)...i also have a tough time figuring out what i like. Secondly, its not just about the things i like and dont, but also about what character traits i have that i need to work on. For example, i really need to boost my self reliance skills, critical thinking skills, and people skills. Alll of these skills i will have to apply during my random "vacations" because i know there will be times when something unexpected happens...its how i handle those unexpectated situations that will help me build my life skills so i can feel more independent and be able to gain the confidence i need to manage life and my happiness all on my own. I have realized recently that i am responsible for my life (i didn't have that mindset before...i leaned into other people's shadow)...so now i am trying to get my own shadow and stand on my own two feet by handling what life throws my way. I also wanted to explore these skills in a fun way. I have learned recently that I am never alone when i am by myself...i am always WITH myself. I want to spend that quality time with myself so i can learn more about me.
My bubble has not been bursted....my bad b/c i might have bursted yours. Take the time to read my rules of the game post...my goals are mentioned a lot and it will indicate how going to 112 places will help me out. Its more about the personal advantages i can achieve than the places themselves.
