I’m In Love

Survivalist

By spider | Published: November 3, 2008

Recently I was thinking, as I often do. And like it has occasionally over the past year or so, my mind wandered upon the idea that I am woefully unprepared, should some calamitous disaster – be it natural or induced by man – radically impact the world I live in. An earthquake, perhaps. Or a [...]

This business of setting goals, and focusing on the big rocks is not something to be taken lightly. It takes focus. Currently, there are two categories of goals that are occupying synapses on my cerebral cortex: Household Necessities Higher Callings Which ones do you think are in the ‘Big Rock’ group?
