It seems that everywhere I go, someone's talking about the Zero Day Project. The what? Not enjoying my position in the dark on this thing everyone else seemed to be excited about, I did a little research and I found a dream come true for someone interested in enriching their lives, which is what we said we're doing here, right?
The Zero Day Project is a self-imposed bucket list of sorts- 101 goals to be completed in 1001 days. Judging from facebook posts, fan forums, and lists posted on the internet, the Zero Day Project lists cover goals designed to inspire creativity, expand boundaries, stretch limits, blow the roof (and sides) off the box you live in. Basically, your imagination is your only limitation. It seems everyone has a ZDP list; everyone, that is, except me... until now. And, wow, if you think coming up with 101 goals is easy, give it a try. It's not nearly as simple as you think.
It occurs to me that if you have an interest or a wild idea, you can get away with it if you call it a Project. If you dedicate yourself, write it down, and share it with friends, you somehow feel empowered to actually complete the task. If you really want to swing on a trapeze but are afraid people will laugh at you, or if you secretly want to have lunch with a homeless person but are scared of the reaction, or if you've spent time wondering what your hair would look like with Crayola red highlights, this might be your chance (or your excuse, if you feel you need one) to step outside of your box, to try something brave, to be a little wacky. Your list doesn't have to be 101 items, it doesn't have to take you 1001 days... but a list might do you a little good. It might help you to find that Something More.
