100 things to achieve in 2023

Recently, I saw another blogger post a list of 100 things they plan to do in 2023. So I decided to do a similar challenge and came up with 100 things to do in 2023.

Why do this challenge?

Like many of you, I struggle with living life to the fullest. I wish and pray for my life to change; to have more money; to experience more things; to be more creative. Yet, I never do anything to change my circumstances. So, to start changing my life, I have started creating lists of things I want to do and accomplish. I have also created a list of 300 things I want from life (following Steve Harvey’s list of 300 things to want from God). Now those 300 things are a lifelong list of things to accomplish over the next 50 (give or take) years. And many of those things I won’t be able to accomplish even this year. So, I came up with a list of 100 things I can achieve this year.

The list:
