101 in 1001

I found this great idea today and I'm thinking about doing one myself

The Mission: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria: Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on my part).

Why 1001 Days? Many people have created lists in the past — frequently simple goals such as new year’s resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities. Goal setting tips 1. Be decisive. Know exactly what you want, why you want it, and how you plan to achieve it. 2. Stay Focussed. Any goal requires sustained focus from beginning to end. Constantly evaluate your progress. 3. Welcome Failure. Frequently, very little is learned from a venture that did not experience failure in some form. Failure presents the opportunity to learn and makes the success more worthy. 4. Write down your goals. It clarifies your thinking and reinforces your commitment. 5. Keep your goals in sight. Review them frequently, and ensure that they are always at the forefront of your thinking.

Going back to the Ex!?!?!???

Why am I thinking about this??? Hmmm, my ex did look at my profile on a social networking website. Why is this special. Well we or better he broke up with me over or almost exactly 2 years ago. And then one week after he left me he got together with my not anymore bestie. After that I was pissed at both of them but I think more at her. And now why does he look at my profile??? Does he want sth? But I guess the better question to ask would be: Do I still want sth from him? After all he did to me? I'm not even sure they didn't cheat on me while we were still together. He'S not even that good looking and I'm not even sure that I would not have broken up with him because I wasn't totally sure about what it is with him.
I guess I don't want him back and it's better if I just ignore that and don't think about it anymore. I am not lonely I am just a single twenties girl and I really like my life!!!!

Good and bad times while travelling

Travelling? What does travelling mean for me? Why do people travel? What does a person bring to start big travels? Why are they taking all this stuff on themselves? People go away from their home and from their families but why? Why are they doing this?

First of all I guess because travelling is fun! Travelling is the most interesting thing in your whole life you can do. You see new places in the world: beautiful beaches, rocks, mountains and scenery. But it’s also about the people you meet. You meet so many people from all over the world; foreign countries bring a lot of foreign people with them… You do stuff with people you just met you wouldn’t do at home with your best mates. You do things you wouldn’t do at home, not even for money. People just go crazy when they are far away from home, when they don’t have any mates with them, when they are just on their own. People are different when they are just on their own. They make experiences they will never ever do if they would have stayed at home. That might be another reason why people go travelling. People want to experience themselves they want to find out how they react when they are all on their own, how they can survive, how they can handle this new and unusual part of their life. Maybe they want to find out more about themselves about who they really are, what they are good in and what things they aren’t,. They want to find out how special their life at home is, what all their friends and family truly mean for them and maybe they want to find out who are there real friends.
There might also be people who are running away from something But that’s not a good reason travel because you can’t run that far away that the thing you are running away from cant follow you.

Why did I create this Blog?

Well, I'm feeling kind of empty since realizing my big dream almost 2 years ago. My big dream was going to Australia for a Working Holiday. I did it and I had the time of my life. I met so many really nice people, saw the most beautiful beaches, saw many animals I didn’t expect to see (like Nemo J ), had Parties until I couldn’t walk properly anymore, made experiences I could only dream of, learnt many drinking games ( thanks to mostly British people), did things I wouldn’t have done at home and what’s most important for me I think I was truly myself for the first time in my life. I did really enjoy myself and I was how I really am. As you might have noticed I wrote “was” because I lost myself again… Being back home for over a year now, is quite difficult for me. There are so many differences between Australia and Germany. The way of life, the niceness of people and of course the weather.

After realizing my dream I came back home to nothing except my family and friends. Naturally this is enough to come back, but I lost my goal in life, my dream to work forward to. The goal to which I can look forward to. Still today after over one year I still haven’t found my new dream. Maybe there’s only one big dream for everyone in life. Just like there’s only one big and true love for everyone out there.

These are not the only reasons for me to start blogging but I guess these are the main ones. I’m not a very good writer and my English isn’t the best but it feels easier to me to write and talk about things that really matter to me in English. Another reason is that I recently found some really good blogs on the Internet which I started to read regularly. So I decided I want to become a part of the blogger family. I hope you welcome me J

Now I have to say goodnight I’ve got an early start. XOXO Rica
