Ever since I can remember I have only wanted to do two things: play sports and travel. As my High School graduation drew nearer and I did not have a college to play sports for I decided I would work for six months and then travel for as long as I could. I figured as I traveled I would learn a foreign language, (Spanish perhaps?) and then go take everything day by day. I relayed this plan to my parents and I they passed me a look of "are you out of your mind". See I did all the customary bull crap one has to do senior year of high school, I applied to Colleges, filled out scholarship letters, and made sure I graduated (with honors, so I'm not a slacker). But, I just did not want to go to college at least not at that moment, I wanted to travel the world (or at least to Spain). That was my plan and I was going forth with it.
Well when you are eighteen without money or a job I had to learn to bend to what my parents thought was best. In other words I could go attend one of the schools I was accepted into or join the Military. Well I definitely was not about to go to the Military so I started making plans to attend college. While making these plans I received an offer to play basketball for a Division I school and that made the decision to attend college much easier to swallow. Like I said at the time I had two passions sports and traveling, so I was happy.
As I went through college I had to decide what I wanted to do with the rest of my life and I went through numerous fields; public relations, architecture, physical therapy, nursing, teaching, law, etc. However, none of them really struck my interest till I went home one summer and worked at a rehabilitation center with my mom and sister. I had fun working there and thought it must mean I should be a physical therapist. I know now it was because I was working with family and that is what I enjoyed. Through my various dabbling here in there interning, volunteering, working, shadowing I knew that whatever I did I needed to be my own boss. There my entrepreneurial spirit was born.
Now I had three passions, working for myself, traveling and sports. I still want to travel the world but responsibility and funds elude me so I settle for small week trips here and there. I workout and am looking to join an adult league, in any sport I'm not picky. Now I need to fulfill my entrepreneurial desire but I am not sure how to go about doing that. I want to enjoy my business and it not feel like a job but still treat it like one so that it will be profitable. It also needs to be flexible so that I may travel and see the 7 Wonders of the World. Now end lies my quest to find my passion(s).
To be continued. . .

Fire up Monday
Since I have started working on goal setting, (realistic goal setting) I wanted to start the week with a list of smaller goals to accomplish. Hopefully, I will be able to accomplish my larger goals and they will stop rolling over year after year. I recently visited another blogger's site (ok, dani) and every Monday she writes her weekly goals and what she is grateful for. Here are my weekly goals:

90 Year Old Wisdom
One of the things I am blessed with is having the same birthday and my 90 year old great grandmother. She imparted probably the best advice to me when I called to wish her a happy birthday.
"Whenever you have time or bored, spend time doing something you enjoy." My response to her was, "I am going to make a list of all the things I enjoy. Whenever, I have time or bored I can refer to my list." It doesn't have to be extravagant or outlandish. It can be something as simple as reading. Which I found out that she and I both enjoy doing.
So here is the list I started and I plan on referring to it often because life is short and I plan on living life more fully starting now. . .
