While speaking with my roommate I recently had an Oprah epiphany (as corny as it may sound). She drafted a list of 29 things to be happy, healthy and wise. This inspired me to write some of my own goals as I reach my quarter-century mark.
I wanted a visual representation of my goals so I can hold myself accountable and cross them off as I go. So here it is:
