I love your outlook – and congrats on the one year anniversary. I may be biased, but I personally hope you stay in the States … just sayin’.

You, my friend, are such an inspiration to me. It’s people like you who make me realize completely that anything is possible. Thank You.

I guess it really is no secret is it, Eric? I hear about this kind of thing all the time. Me and Amanda did the same thing about a year and a half ago and when we sat down and looked at our list a few months ago, we realized that almost everything on the list had materialized. We just made a new set of goals a couple months ago. Make it Happen.

Yeah man, it was my conversation with you that pushed me into making “Make it Happen Mondays” a regular feature over here at Loving the Bike. Thanks for being my cheerleader and motivator, and for helping me make things happen.

You must have known that I would love this post! Set your goals, and go for them. I’m so happy you exceeded last years targets because I have a feeling this year is going to exceed even your wildest dreams.

I am, without a doubt, a believer in setting a goal and then not letting anything stand in the way of making it happen. There is some skill in setting a goal that is a stretch but is still achievable. My experience has been that people more often than not set goals that are too easy. They dont push themselves outside of the comfort zone and stretch themselves. I don’t think that is the case for you guys though .

Pamela (my wife) and I set some goals 5 years ago that most people would have said were not only difficult but simply impossible. And five years later we have hit nearly every one of them. And our life is the richer for it (and I don’t meant financially).

I have not been as present in the online world last month because of my work obligations as I would have liked. However, I sense a groundswell around lovingthebike and some really good people associating with you, like Jim who commented below, that may be the start of some really wonderful things for you and your family.
