In the current American culture the urge of the populace i to get a life coach, which coasts a fortune, to sit down and discuss your life. Not only what has happened so far in it, but also that never reaching horizon. The benefit of paying this life coach tons of your hard earned money is that they're job is to bring that infinite unreachable horizon a little closer just within an easily stretched grasp. In oder to make the distance even shorter is, according to popular trend, by making a life list. Supposively through making a life list one can realize what they truly want in life, and work to achieve everything on it.
This is very convenient. So while you are attempting a weird organized version of self actualization the life coach takes directly from your pocket. Bravo to whom ever came up with clever little idea. The mind is a wonderful thing.
What is funny though is I have been writing this lists since freshman year in High school. Even though all they were about was homework and chores, you would have figured I would have self actualized by now. Well, I guess not.
So in true form of boredom, and actual wonderment I'm going to cut out the life coach, but still write a list. Just to see where it takes me. Life is to short, might as well get organized right.
