etc. Awesome is in the eye of the beholder.
not quite
every single person on earth wants to be happier
but that's not really measurable
that's too vague
can you think of something that totally thrills you?
That would a total WOW for your life? That could take you to a whole
new level?
For me for instance a solo museum show would do the trick. It
absolutely thrills me!
In janurary I set a goal to get a positive review of my work in the NYTimes. I was totally obsessed with that goal, and finally I got it 6 months later.. I was very specific and now I have the paper, so it's measurable.
Also making money as a goal isn't thrilling as a goal. A better goal would be say to make x amount until this date so u can cover your college education
or improve your living situation. But even better would be to focus on what you love doing and investing in that as a way to make money
