Planning is still important, but there gets to be a time where you just have to bite the bullet and go, regardless of the outcome!</p> <p>@Cherie It seems as though you hear many people saying they had wish they had taken the leap sooner. However, you very rarely hear about someone that regrets the decision or failed in their attempts. Maybe they are just hiding, but I think getting over the fear is the hardest part. Once you do that you can make anything happen</p> <p>@Cath I think thats the biggest "problem" with my list, for every one that I finish I will add five more. Finishing the list was never the point though, its the journey, and the more stuff I can experience along the way the better! Let us know if you ever get up on that horse!</p> @Travis It is glad to hear another story about someone who has actually made the changes in their life that most just talk about, and I agree with your thoughts completely.

I have a list of things I intend to do in my lifetime, and I'm working my way through. What's fun is that, as quickly as I cross stuff off, I find new things to add... I went to a real rodeo for the first time yesterday, and I'm inspired to learn to ride a horse! Just added it to my list :)</p> <p>Look forward to hearing more from you and the rest of the location independent/ traveling/ adventuring tribe here, about your ventures and adventures.</p> <p>Cath</p> Well done, Sean!
