In no particular order, and as they came to me:
1) Be inspired and creative
2) To have things work out with Annika in an awesome way
3) To work with friends (either full time or on projects)
4) Be fit and healthy
5) Be in a position where I'm comfortable, financially
6) To have a sense of motivation and direction
7) To get up in the morning and feel excited about what I'm doing.
There's a bit of overlap there, looking at the list. But yeah, those are the things that I feel would make my life pretty awesome. So now I'm sitting myself down and going over what needs to be done to make it happen.
As an aside, number 7 really hit home as I wrote it down. I remember when I used to spring out of bed the moment I woke up, because I was halfway through some huge geek project or whatever, and the creative urge was upon me. I haven't felt that way in ages, and that's a fairly sad state of affairs.
More writing, then on to doing shit.
