40 Before 40

​I’m a goal setter and at times cause my own meltdowns. I have very high expectations for myself, and these goals help me succeed but also can be a learning experience through failure or challenging situations. Goals seem much different and more serious than a bucket list. A bucket list seems fun and inspirational. Full of places I would like to travel, books I would like to read, experiences I would like to well experience.
