Creating a list of long-term or life-long goals provides clarity and direction that can help you take actionable steps towards your goals and personal growth.
My lists are ever-evolving – as I grow and change as a person, the way I choose to spend my time and my goals naturally evolve with me – and that’s okay! The important thing is that I have something to guide my choices; I want to live deliberately and actively enjoy my life.
Here are my 100 life goals lists – multiple lists for each category of my life that add up to 100 total goals. I encourage you to set a list of goals for yourself as well!
