There were three left.

The frog decided to jump, but he didn’t actually jump. Hopefully as you wander through this site, you will be inspired to not just decide to do new things, but to actually make the jump and go do them.

In no particular order, here are the 183 goals. Allow about 15-20 minutes to have a read through them all. You will find some that you may think are easy (i.e. goal 93), some that you may think are a little harder (i.e. goal 177) and some that I will need your help on (i.e. goal 89). I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Happy reading.
