2014 Goals Dreamline

Last year I wrote a post titled My Big, Bad Bucketlist and at the bottom of that post I added a little tidbit about Tim Ferriss's Dreamline concept.
It's an important tidbit that will help you get more out of life.

Every year people make New Years Resolutions (Great!).
And every year most people never even start on those resolutions (Not so great..).
Well instead of resolutions you can have goals.
They're similar, but a little different.
Instead of 'I want to work out more' you put 'I want to be featured in a fitness magazine'.
The goal adds an accountability factor to it.

We're now 10 days into the new year.
Have any of you made resolutions and haven't gotten around to doing them, yet?
Look at the sheet and brainstorm about what you really want, then hang it on your mirror and look at it every day.
Those that are working on their resolutions, fantastic job!
Maybe you can use the Dreamline sheet to push you a little further?

Here are my 2014 goals:

The point is to use it!
Hang it where you will see it every day. And read it, every day.

Has anyone used this before?
Did it help them?
I'm happy to help anyone with theirs and explain how it works if you shoot me a quick comment or email.

Let's make 2014 a year of learning, growth, and unconditional love!

Tower Bridge, London

Tower Bridge often gets called the London Bridge... but it's not.
Tower Bridge is the one everyone loves.
London Bridge is a typical looking, no fancy architecture bridge.
I would have loved to stay in London longer and get to walk past Tower Bridge every single day of the year to see how the light reflected off of it changes with the seasons... but who knows, maybe sometime soon I will.

What a sight, hey?
Don't worry London, I'll be back.

#23: See Big Ben

Big Ben was pretty cool if I do say so myself.
What amazing architecture.
And I absolutely loved hearing the strikes of the bell.
If you're in London and you hear them, just stop and listen for a moment.
And then picture that bell chiming for over 150 years, the same way it did in the times of horse and buggy, and knights, and the hippie era.
If your imagination is good enough, for a fraction of a moment you can put yourself in those times and feel complete with the universe knowing that you are also connected to that part of the past.

London has this great feel about it.
History meets modern day.
Little gems scattered throughout if you only but look.

#34: See the Houses of Parliament

I didn't realize that the Houses of Parliament were one with Big Ben (which is actually the name of the bell inside the clock tower, not the clock tower itself).
So many things you learn and see when you travel!

We had the most amazing weather in London as well!
Maybe I might need to move here to really understand what people mean when they say that the weather here is terrible...

#153: See Buckingham Palace

The day we went out to see Buckingham Palace there was a rainstorm.
But we saw it anyways.
London is full of historic, beautiful places and I couldn't not put Buckingham Palace on my bucketlist.

And for some reason all the guards were in grey, not red like I was made to believe in the movies.
I was a little disappointed... Anyone know the reason for the grey?

I'd love to tour the inside of it someday. Maybe I'll add go to a ball at Buckingham Palace to my bucketlist...

#24: Ride/see the London Eye

When writing my bucketlist for the first time around I had "Ride the London Eye" on it.
But after riding the Singapore Flyer for our anniversary I decided to consider just seeing it a tick.

It was the perfect day when we went out.
Blue skies, great friends, new city, it couldn't have been a better time to be exploring London.

#7: See Stonehenge in UK

This trip to England has allowed me to tick a whole lot of bucketlist boxes.

So without further ado I give you Stonehenge.

We didn't actually get up close to the ruins.

We wanted to but the queue was massive. 

Queue to get into the area, queue to park the car, queue for tickets, queue for transport to get to the site, queue to get out... too much queuing.

I was honestly a bit disappointed that something that belongs to the world, a piece of history of mankind, felt like it was being exploited.

I wouldn't mind paying a few dollars to see it but from doing a bit of research I believe the money is being used to build a gift shop, an expanded parking lot, and a food hall; and on top of that the website claims that a few of the areas are restricted to photography. 

Who needs a giftshop full of postcards and keyrings when you have the real thing right in front of you?

So we left the queue and did a little drive-by instead.

Not the best way to see it I must say but still a bucketlist tick none-the-less. 

I might try to go back for a solstice gathering of some sort, or maybe at day break one day to make the most of this mystical place without the tour group crowds.

Anyone else been here?

Did you have to battle your way through a horde of people? 

Or was is peaceful, beautiful and mystical like I imagined it would be?
