this life for rent

Jorge Garcia, most famously known as Hugo "Hurley" Reyes from the hit television show, LOST, once stated he had a notebook in the earlier years of his career that he would write down what he wanted to accomplish in his life. At one point, I assume, the notebook went missing or packed away, because Jorge found it again and read off the list, many of the points specific to accomplishments he has achieved.

(Be part of an ensemble cast on a successful television show. No really, I think he was that specific.)

His point was you need to write it down and visualize it in order to help make the dream a reality. I agree with this philosophy, even if I forget it's power from time to time.

I have made a list. It isn't complete, this portion focuses solely on career, but it is a good starting point.
